Special Services Division director passes away

The Special Services Division told Loop PNG that the late Namora collapsed this morning.

“We are yet to receive full details into his passing,” this newsroom was told.

Namora had served as the Madang police station commander (PSC) before being transferred to West New Britain to become the provincial police commander.

The 2017 transfer directive by Police Commissioner Gari Baki saw Namora take up the Director Special Services Division post.

Police refrained from conducting further evictions

He said he has been informed about the situation regarding the eviction of tenants at Gordon’s and has issued a directive to officers to refrain from further action.

Tenants at Gordon claim that six vehicles with fully armed SSD officers evicted them on the eve of Christmas with a court order.

Pachichi says he has seen the purported court order for the eviction of the tenants.

He informed this newsroom that he personally questioned the validity of the court order and is seeking clarification from his superiors as well as from the Constabulary’s lawyers.
