THE 34-year-old Elikan Neliwa, a pastor and church owner of the Have Mercy Mission Ministries, has been remanded in custody after making a brief court appearance in the Outapi Magistrate’s Court on Thursday.
This follows after the accused was arrested at his church on Tuesday.
Neliwa is accused of raping three members of his congregation aged 17, 19, and 24. All of them are learners at a local school, with one in grade 10 and the two others in grade 11.
The Namibian Police Force’s Regional Commander for Omusati, Commissioner Ismael Basson, said the accused was not granted bail, and his case was postponed to 11 June 2024 for further police investigations.
