A fire from the gun after the shot. Gunshot

A group of six accused persons in the police shootout that left one dead has leveled damning allegations against police officers for trying to cover up the shooting incident before the Extension II Magistrate Court.

Amongst the six accused persons arraigned before the court is a Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) special agent, Oteng Keraamang (39), believed to be part of the drug syndicate that led to the shootout.

The five other accused persons are Phenyo Godisang (39), Tshepo Seakanyeng (38), Lebogang David (39), Artwell Mpofu (41), and Isaac Sinemba (35). Accused persons are charged with three counts, one of which is giving false information to a person employed in public service.
