​UPNG students allowed bail

Four University of Papua New Guinea students who were arrested last week for the alleged unlawful use of a motor vehicle were allowed bail today.

Their lawyer, Laken Lepatu Aigilo, went before the Waigani District Court this morning with a bail application which was granted at K500 each.

Brendan Kisa, Elizah Nere, Divimal Marus and Frank Luwai were arrested last Thursday in Port Moresby following a confrontation with the university’s security force.

They were charged on Monday for the unlawful use of a motor vehicle after they were kept three days at the Waigani Police Station.

The students will return to court on July 4 where they will be arraigned or have their charge read out before the court by the magistrate.
