Top cop investigated
LAE Metropolitan Commander Chief Superintendent Nema Mondiai has confirmed that the Lae Task Force Commander is under investigation for allegedly discharging his firearm in a public place under the influence of alcohol.
Mr Mondia confirmed that the officer is also being investigated for unlawful assault. He said two separate complaints have been filed with police Internal Investigation Unit (IIU) in Lae, and then appropriate charges will be laid against him. The officer is also being investigated for allegedly assaulting the wife of convicted Madang BSP bank robber Bobby Selan, Julie.
Mr Mondiai said the allegations are serious and needs to be investigated properly. He said he had received a letter of complaint from Samson Timson of Kamkumung village regarding the shooting and a formal complaint from Mrs Selan, regarding the assault.
He said the officer stated to him that he had slapped Mrs Selan for rubbishing the police for fabricating charges in relation to the BSP robbery which landed her husband in jail. But Mrs Selan denied that. She said she was at the night club with her friends and the officer made advances at her and when she refused, he slapped her on her ears.
Mr Timson in his letter of complaint alleged that on May 28, he was at The Place with some of his relatives and friends, and the officer picked an argument with the group. He alleges that the officer swore at the group and as he approached to find out about the commotion, the officer ran to the gate of the night club, then pulled out his pistol, fired two shots into the air and then lowered the pistol and aimed it at him.
