Twenty Correctional Services officers were arrested by police in Port Moresby Northwest on Tuesday evening. Investigations reveal that nine of the arrested officers were stationed in Port Moresby itself. The remaining eleven officers were brought in from Barawaghi prison, located in the Highlands province of Chimbu. The reason for the officers’ presence outside their regular stations and the nature of their alleged offenses have not been disclosed. Further details are limited due to a paywall restricting access to the full report. The arrests raise questions about staffing and potential irregularities within the Correctional Services. This incident is currently under police investigation.
