firearms surrender

This was done in the presence of those gathered during a one week crusade held at Serangwandu village by Life in the Spirit Ministries on Friday 20th January 2023. 

Youth leader, Max Emmanuel Malakai said he is pleased that more youths are surrendering to the Lord after he gave up arms and drugs late last year.

"As a youth leader I am pleased that these youths who were once my accomplices have come here and surrendered. I still want more to come out like them,” said Max.

The firearms were used to commit a string of armed robberies along the main highway in Maprik District.

The guns were surrendered to the newly appointed Police sTation Commander for Maprik Inspector Robert Bari, in the presence of Yamil – Tamawi LLG president Carl Sangi, and local MP and Minister for Agriculture and Livestock John Simon.

Maprik Police were notified on Sunday that youths, who were behind the string of crime in Naramko Village, which is a hotspot for armed robberies, wanted to surrender the firearms.
