The nasty head of lawlessness resurfaced in Prime Minister, James Marape’s Hela Province.

An hour ago, locals took to Facebook that Pai Police Barracks in the province was on fire.

Attempts made to get local authorities to update further on the situation were unsuccessful.

Sketchy reports say an ethnic clash resulted in houses belonging to police personnel stationed there, were burnt down.

Families of police personbel will be made homeless.

The story is still developing and authorities are being expected to make public statements about it.
