The director general of the Namibia Central Intelligence Service (NCIS), Benedict Likando, allegedly left the spy agency this month.
When contacted for comment on Thursday, Likando referred The Namibian to “the authority” before ending the phone call.
Asked whether he was still with the NCIS, Likando responded: “I don’t know, really. Can you ask the authority?”
Presidential spokesperson Alfredo Hengari said the president would inform the nation and the media about the appointment of the next director general of the NCIS.
Hengari initially stated this in a text message which he later deleted, saying instead: “No comment.”
He then asked The Namibian to send him questions via email, but did not respond to them.
President Hage Geingob appointed Likando as director general of the NCIS in March 2020, replacing Philemon Malima, who had served in the position for five years.
