Although reportedly released from custody on 4 January 1994, Nathaniel Ngakantsi is apparently still in police detention. His lawyers were informed that he would be brought to the magistrates’ court on 5 January but when they attended the court they were informed that the police had brought him the previous day. As of midday of 5 January Nathaniel Ngakantsi’s lawyers were unable to locate him. They have been informed by a state legal officer that he is still under investigation by the police. There are fears that he is being pressured into making a “confession” in connection with a pamphlet alleging corruption among government officials.
