Goroka police have arrested five men over their alleged involvement in the murder of PNG Ports managing director Fego Kiniafa.

Provincial Police Commander Chief Superintendent Michael Welly said the men are in police custody and are now being questioned over the slaying of Kiniafa on the morning of September 17 near Nagamiufa village outside Goroka town.

Kiniafa and his driver were reportedly slashed with machetes after the CEO shot a Nagamiufa villager.

Mr Welly said investigations are continuing into the killing which sparked a tribal fight.

In the early hours of last Saturday between 1am and 4am, it is alleged that Kiniafa, who had turned 43 on September 16, PNG Independence Day, was with a few men near Nagamiufa village when a confrontation occurred.

Kiniafa, from Korofeigu village in Lower Bena, is alleged to have discharged a weapon.

The bullet hit another man.

The shooting incited several tribesmen of the injured man to attack Kiniafa, slashing him several times before leaving him at the scene.

Details about what happened next has not been mentioned by police, however it is believed Kiniafa was rushed to the Goroka General Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Two days later on Monday, a 4am dawn raid was conducted at the Nagamiufa village by men allegedly from Korofeigu village, Lower Bena.

The raid on Nagamiufa caused about 400 plus women, girls and the old to seek refuge within the gates of the Bihute Correctional Services prison.

The Goroka Airport also shut its gates causing several 100 passengers made up of tourists and locals to be stranded inside the terminal.

Throughout Goroka town, business closed their doors, the hospital also tightened its security while schools were shut for the day as police tried to calm the situation.

Assistant Commissioner of Police – Northern Command Peter Guinness has confirmed with the Post-Courier the support of two mobile squads from Mt Hagen, Western Highlands and a Mobile Squad from Lae, Morobe Province are now in Goroka, Eastern Highlands province.

Since Monday the situation has returned to some sort of normalcy with police continuing to keep watch on the situation on the ground.

Investigations continue.

BRIEF HISTORY OF SIR IGNATIUS KILAGE - THE FIRST PRIEST

Image
Young men who went to school in the early times went on to become important people.   Kulkane man, Ignatius Kilage, was the first man from the highlands to be ordained a priest in 1968 and later he was to become one of the most distinguished statesmen in Papua New Guinea. As the day of his ordination approached, Ignatius especially chose the date December 17th 1968 in memory of the burial date of Father Karl Morschheuser. THE FIRST PRIEST - SIR IGNATIUS KILAGE By: Mathias Kin -  PNG History, Facts & Ideas.
