Sawari taken in by police after court

His lawyer, Loani Henao told the media outside the court house, he does not know why his client was taken in but all he knew was that he was to be driven to the Waigani Police station.

Police escorted him into a waiting vehicle soon after his lawyer made further submissions in court on a no-case submission, asking the court to dismiss the case on the grounds that police prosecution did not prove its case.

Henao told the court there was no evidence that he used a PNG Passport, number e133854 to travel out nor obtained the passport from falsified information.
