Police in Madang managed to contain the situation in Madang this morning with the arrival of reinforcements from Lae led by Metropolitan Superintendent Anthony Wagambie Jnr and the Momase Regional Task Force team.

According to the Provincial Police Commander, Jacob Singura, a combine operation has seen the police remove illegal roadblocks along the highway set up by the Sepiks and dispersed youths roaming the town area with weapons.

PPC Singura says the police have managed to contain the situation at the moment and are heavily patrolling the settlements of the Sepiks and the Highlanders to ensure no more violence.

He says they will arrest any person with any forms of weapons roaming around the town area and has advised those enemy groups to work together with the police for peace to prevail and to solve this issue through the rightful use of law and order.PNGFM/ PNG Today
