A senior official from the Ministry of Education’s Erongo Regional Directorate was arrested by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) this afternoon at the Erongo Regional Council offices.
The details surrounding the arrest remain unclear, and the nature of the alleged offence has not yet been disclosed.
According to reports, ACC investigators arrived at the offices and placed the official in handcuffs before escorting her away for questioning.
