Windhoek High Court Judge Herman January on Friday dismissed an appeal against the ruling of magistrate Linus Samunzala to release self-styled prophet Jackson Babi on bail pending his trial. Babi faces charges of possessing or dealing in two rhino horns, hunting a rhinoceros that is protected by law and possessing a hunting rifle and ammunition without a licence. The State claims Babi and Frizans Naululu Dumeni were in possession or dealt in two rhino horns at Babi’s residence in Kleine Kuppe in Windhoek between 26-27 May 2020. The alleged discovery of the horns, firearm and bullets also led to the arrest of two other suspects, Alberto Mbwale and Joseph Matheus. It is alleged the horns are linked to the poaching of two rhinos found dead and with their horns removed in the area of Gobabis in May.
