Tigak Island

NIP police call for support

Provincial Police Commander, Felix Nebanat, made the call after an individual supported their two-week operation on Tigak Island that saw 14 gang members surrender to police.

“The group that is in there now will pave way for polling to go in. If they do not support this cause, how should they expect a free, fair and safe election?

“Police are custodians of the law and with the resources that we are going to be armed with from the government, we will in turn use these to help their people.

They turned themselves in to Kavieng police last week following the killing of their leader in a joint raid conducted by local police and Mobile Squad (MS) personnel from the Tomaringa Barracks on Thursday, June 9th.
