Police Condemns the Gruesome Torture of Two Women Over Sorcery Accusations By a Group of About 20 Men Near Port Moresby City.

NCD POLICE BOSS CONDEMNS GRUESOME TORTURE OF WOMEN

Police in the National Capital District has condemned the gruesome torture of two women over sorcery accusations by a group of about 20 men. NCD Metropolitan Superintendent Gideon Ikumu says they fled before police arrived at the scene. 

 Mr Ikumu strongly condemned these criminal acts and requested the families and relatives of the two victims to provide their statements. He says from the statements, the perpetrators will be identified for arrests to be made. 

 Mr Ikumu says the timely intervention of Fox 304 and a Gordons police unit led by their Police Station Commander Inspector Robert Wane saved the two women. He adds, the pair were accused of practicing sorcery, held in captivity, beaten up and thrown into a fire, going by the burns they sustained. 

One of the women managed to escape from her captors and ran down a hill before she was rescued by police while the second victim was found badly wounded and bound with ropes when she was found by police, lying in a garden. 

The incident occurred at a settlement near the NBC Headquarter at 5 Mile. The attack started on Sunday morning and continued into the afternoon at around t2pm when police were alerted and rescued one, while the other had escaped earlier. 

Divisional Commander NCD/Central, Assistant Commissioner Anthony Wagambie Jnr has also condemned this vicious attack, adding it is unacceptable. Commander Wagambie says people must change their mindset as they are living in a modern growing city. 

 He has vowed that police will ensure those responsible are brought to justice. Police investigations will start after the two women are visited by Counseling experts.

Sack the Minister: SME Corruption Exposes Theft of Public Money

Picture Supplied Sack the Minister: SME Corruption Exposes Theft of Public Money By: Hon. James Nomane  Thursday, 25 June 2026 Papua New Guinea New Guinea's small and medium enterprise programme — conceived to lift ordinary citizens out of poverty and build a productive private sector — has been comprehensively pillaged. Thanks to whistleblowers, the Opposition has received documentary evidence that reveals a pattern of fraud, cronyism, and kleptocracy so brazen that it demands immediate criminal investigation and the sacking of the responsible Minister. Whilst the country has missed out on SME support as a priority program under the Marape government, the hundreds of millions in budget appropriation in every budget cycle have gone to the hands of a few: relatives, cronies, and political allies. Funding that could have grown the economy has been sadly consumed by the “kaikai man”. The evidence is damning, documented, and undeniable. Payment registers obtained by ...

Insights on the Gold Bullion in Papua New Guinea: Dr. Clement Waine's Perspective

Insights on the Gold Bullion in Papua New Guinea: Dr. Clement Waine's Perspective  From Dr Clement Wane PhD (Not Dr John Kuimb, Allan Bird or Justin Parker) Dr Clement Waine. My Views on the Gold Bullion Bill: These are my own views without reading the profiles of any of the companies involved, the draft bill, or the arguments (for and against) surrounding the bill. 1. PNG owned 22.5% of Lihir and 22.5% of Porgera and Mekere sold them in 2001. 2. Consequently, for the last 22yrs, the State of PNG had no recourse to the revenue of the sale of gold or the actual productions (i.e. gold bars); 3. ⁠We sold our interests in Lihir and Porgera for pittance (that’s a different discussion if you folks want to have it!) 4. ⁠For 2022 years PNGeans were happy! 5. ⁠Nobody complained! 6. ⁠The Lihir and Porgera mines are very lucrative gold mines in the world and Barrick and Newcrest had a field day over these mines in the last 22 years and nobody claimed their gold productions were PNG’s assets!...

KEEP MARAPE AS PM! by Dr. Clement Waine.

KEEP MARAPE AS PM By Dr Clement Waine The foreign occupying powers want Prime Minister James Marape out of office because he signed MOU with MCC/Ramu NiCo for copper and nickel/cobalt smelting in the country. This MOU kick starts the wheels of industrialization. The foreign forces do not like PNG to rise to the next level of economic growth, and they are using all their powers within our own systems to derail the wheels of industrialization from spinning. All gullible PNGeans masquerading as intellectuals must know this single fact and stop beating their drums. Marape MUST stay back as PM, and we will all spin this wheel of industrialization that was already set in motion. I will tell you a story; it may help or not, but at least I am trying to convince you and others out there. In 2007, Marape became MP for Tari-Pori and became Minister for Education in Somare government. He dreamed of the concept of the National Schools of Excellence. He brought the submission to NEC, a meeting held ...
