Amupanda’s Eagle 25 Raises Fresh Concerns Over Missing Diamonds at NAMDIA

More than six months after the high-profile robbery at Namib Desert Diamonds (NAMDIA), political activist Job Amupanda and his team, Eagle 25, have released new findings regarding the status of the missing diamonds. The robbery, which occurred on 18 January 2025, involved armed suspects breaking into NAMDIA’s headquarters in Windhoek and stealing over 500 parcels of diamonds estimated to weigh more than 50,000 carats, with a total value exceeding N$300 million according to Job Amupanda’s post.

In a public statement released this week, Eagle 25 claims that only 47 parcels weighing around 4,000 carats and valued at approximately N$40 million have been recovered. Based on their calculations, this would mean over 453 parcels, worth nearly N$260 million, are still missing. Eagle 25 says it obtained this information through what it describes as “factual findings” and has called for greater transparency from NAMDIA regarding the progress of investigations.

In the same statement, Amupanda questioned the roles of specific security officers and raised suspicions about possible internal connections related to the heist. He called on NAMDIA to clarify whether certain employees are still in service and whether there are any known relationships between those individuals and others mentioned in the investigation. Eagle 25 has also raised concerns about whether weaknesses within the institution might have contributed to the scale of the theft.

However, it is important to note that NAMDIA has previously rejected findings by Eagle 25, particularly those suggesting weak internal security. In earlier statements, the company defended its internal processes and said it was cooperating fully with specialized advanced security teams.

Following the January robbery, NAMDIA suspended several senior executives, including CEO Alisa Amupolo, as part of an internal review. A new security consultant was appointed, and staff resumed operations at the offices in early March after security upgrades were implemented.

Police investigations into the robbery are ongoing, and few suspect at protection officers at NAMDIA was arrested earlier this year. The bulk of the stolen diamonds, however, have not yet been recovered, and no new arrests have been publicly announced.

As pressure mounts from the public and political figures, NAMDIA is yet to respond to the latest claims made by Eagle 25.
