The intricate operation to secure the private investigator's freedom involved a sting operation with a specialised private security company, former military intelligence operatives and Namibia's specialised police.They not only rescued Kekshin, but also exposed the extensive rot inside Namibia's law enforcement system, leading to the arrest of several of its members.
While in custody, Kekshin discovered the involvement of the allegedly corrupt police officials, including officers with familial ties to the syndicate. The ordeal escalated until the intervention of former military intelligence operatives from South Africa, who collaborated with Namibian police to entrap the culprits. The arrest included police officials and alleged members of a syndicate known to produce fake identity documents, passports and different kinds of visas, among other documents.
