Commissioner of Police, David Manning, has strongly condemned the recent attempted extortion by landowners who threatened to disrupt the water supply at the Rouna 2 Hydro Station in Central Province.
“Such actions are completely unacceptable. Police will not tolerate any attempt at extortion,” Commissioner Manning stated.
He emphasized that there are proper, legal channels available for addressing grievances, and it is unlawful and irresponsible to threaten critical infrastructure that serves the nation’s capital.
Commissioner Manning has instructed the Divisional Commander for NCD/Central to lead the police response, reaffirming a zero-tolerance policy toward criminal acts that endanger essential services.
“I have been fully briefed on the activities and threats posed by these groups and their so-called leader, Mr. Babea Toina,” he said.
“My directive is clear, this individual along with anyone involved in making such threats, will be arrested.”
“Such selfish and criminal behaviour, driven by greed, is a direct threat to our communities and will not be allowed to continue.”
Police operations are ongoing, and further updates will be provided as appropriate.
