Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary Commissioner, David Manning has raised concerns regarding the selfish use of Christianity on people alleged to be practicing sorcery following an incident that was reported in media recently. Speaking about Sorcery Accusations and Related Violence [SARV], the Commissioner stated that it is concerning that the use of mainstream Christianity or beliefs are now being put or muddled into Sorcery Related Violence. “I think the last case that was of National significance was of a purported prayer warrior who was responsible for identifying a woman and alleging that she was responsible for sorcery related violence.” “This in turn led to the unfortunate demise of the victim.” Commissioner Manning stated that due to this, he has sent word to the PNG Council of Churches to acknowledge that this not only a new trend but to also work closely with the RPNGC to ensure that the Christian faith is not dragged into this environment and tarnished. Manning further advised that they will continue to work to minimize these crimes and provide protection to those wrongfully accused.
