Rape accused Noa wants to return to work

ONDANGWA – While testifying in the Ondangwa Magistrates’ Court this week, an intern doctor at Onandjokwe Intermediate Hospital, Dennis Noa (31), who is accused of raping a taxi driver, told the court that he wants to return to work because the hospital is short of doctors and his services are essential.

“I am innocent. The complainant did not tell the truth. I want to go back to work to continue serving the patients,” he said.

Noa will remain in custody after his case was postponed to 9 October 2026 for the continuation of his bail application and cross-examination.

He was arrested in July after being accused of raping a male taxi driver (26) in his room at the hospital premises.

Noa further testified that the complainant was attempting to extort money from him to invest in a taxi business.
