ESP police report roadblock
POLICE in East Sepik have reported a road blocked at the Tuonumbu section of the Sepik Highway yesterday following the death of a young man.
Police Commander Supt Albert Beli said a 22-year-old man was hit by a vehicle which then left the scene in Yangoru-Saussia.
He said the driver of the vehicle was in police custody and urged the people of Tuonumbu to open the road.
Supt Beli said police were investigating the matter and users of the Sepik Highway should not be held to ransom.
He stressed on the needs for the police in the province in terms of funding and logistical support to carry out their policing role.
Supt Beli thanked East Sepik Governor Allan Bird for his commitment to support police work in the province.
Supt Beli said police had yet to receive the promised support.
“Im handicapped in terms of mobility, financing, given the limited resource I can’t do much,” he said.
Supt Beli said his force needed vehicles to patrol the highway to address the increase of armed hold ups.
One thought on “ESP police report roadblock”
Police alone cannot prevent criminal activities from happening. It will take a concerted effort from everyone. Therefore everyone in the province, especially in the YSS District who live along the highway should work together to reduce and stop crime in that part of the country. Yangoru Sausia is once again appearing in the news for all the wrong reasons.
