This warning came from Oshikoto police commander commissioner Theopolina Kalompo- Nashikaku during a meeting with Oshana governor Elia Irimari at Oshakati yesterday. The meeting focused on the fight against wildlife crime in and around Etosha National Park. Kalompo-Nashikaku said when poachers see security officials patrolling in the park, they sometimes shoot at them. This undermines security officials’ mandate, she said. Security officials deployed in the country’s flagship park are members of the Namibian Defence Force, Namibian Police and Wildlife Protection Service of the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism.
