Police boss issues warning to students

Students who continue to be disobedient will be put behind bars.

This is the warning from the Lae police boss, Anthony Wagambie Jnr, following the recent school fight between Lae and Bugandi secondary.

“My warning to the students is, if you take the streets again to start up any more of this nonsense, you will end up behind bars,” he says.

“Police have given enough opportunities for you to change and stop this.

“You don't understand that your actions could have led to damage to many properties, looting of shops, damage to vehicles of the travelling public, serious injuries and even death.

“You continue to be disobedient; you will only put yourself in trouble.”

A number of students received injuries from a clash between Bugandi and Lae Secondary School on Thursday.

This happened after more than 200 male students from Bugandi came out of school and marched towards the Salamanda way.

A Police Sector Patrol Unit was there and tried to stop them at Bugandi roundabout and get them back to school but they (students) refused to listen and headed straight for Eriku.
