Provincial police commander, Superintendent Albert Beli, made this remark after police arrested a Mussau Island man for tricking a couple into giving him K20,000 for a piece of block.
The 35-year-old Mussau man was apprehended by Konos police on Tuesday, December 26th, 2023.
Supt Beli said people should reason things out; and establish facts before attempting to purchase a commodity as rare as land.
“No individual owns traditional land in Papua New Guinea; a clan does,” he stated.
