Angry cop fires at office

HUNDREDS of public servants working in the Ipatas Centre, the provincial administration building in Wabag, dived for cover when a policeman allegedly opened fire using a rifle.
He fired at the building but no one was injured.
The policeman was frustrated over the delay by the provincial administration to pay his allowance.
Enga police commander acting Superintendent George Kakas told The National yesterday the policeman was a member of a mobile squad based at Laiagam district.
He said the policeman went to the Ipatas Centre between 3pm and 4pm and opened fire using the semi-automatic rifle.
Kakas said the firearm was fully loaded and the policeman emptied it by firing at the building.
He said the public servants working in the three-storey building scrambled for cover.
He added that some damage was done to the building but no one was injured.
Kakas assured the public servants’ allowances had been paid already.
He said such behaviour was unbecoming of the policeman and that he would face the full brunt of the law.
