New Wabag police chief urges tribe to reject compensation payments

Chief Inspector Daniel Yangen, the Wabag police station commander and acting Enga provincial police commander, urged the Porealin tribe to abandon compensation payments as a response to crime.

Speaking at Sakarip village in the Mai local-level government area of Wabag District, Yangen called on the tribe to surrender its illegal firearms. He also asked residents to allow police to arrest people who break the law.

The appeal challenges the practice of resolving wrongdoing through compensation rather than police action. The item did not provide further details about the firearms or any specific arrests.
