Madang Governor Peter Yama has condemned the actions of two foreigners in the Boroko Foodworld shooting.
He said the incident is a wakeup call for relevant authorities that issue firearm licenses to foreigners.
Governor Yama pointed out that many outsiders coming into the country have not met standards set by authorities to operate security firms.
He said the incident at the Boroko Foodworld last week was uncalled for.
“We cannot have such incidents happening in our country.
“Those involved must be investigated and face the full force of the law.”
Police have confirmed that the suspect and the deceased were from the Philippines and both work for an international security firm.
Investigations are still continuing.
