They have assigned Wednesday as Dedication day, for praise and worship, bible studies and other church-related activities.

The Dobo detainees are a group of 123 men from different villages in the Nahorawa LLG, who rampaged Sakiko Village in 2018, and brutally murdered 7 people, assumed of practicing sorcery. Two of those victims were children aged 3 and 5 at that time.

This news room has confirmed that Masta Muli and Victor Siwi surrendered, while Jordan Sau who was convicted for arson and burglary by the National court in July this year, was recaptured in a dawn raid. He will continue to serve his 12-year jail time.

The 19 still on the run are; Joel Otariv, Genesis Simba, Korekio Daniel, Adam Daniel, Dodi Daniel, Batla Mahen, Sylvester Womandre, Ferdanan Waru, Kwaram Bala, Peter Karababo, Malewa Mandar, Robin Tomai, Andare Pap, Tongu Moli, John Alois, Paya Thomas, Rosang Basuk, Aipi Paul and Eddy Mori.
