Social media can be used to disseminate information to a wider audience of people but sometimes people tend to misuse this medium & the repercussions can be catastrophic as described by the Lae Metropolitan Superintendent, James Luan.
Superintendent Luan when speaking to this newsroom dispelled the notion that Lae city has been harbouring a sex trafficking syndicate. He statied that these are fake reports only meant to sow dissent & panic among citizens.
He said this has been found to be untrue and a woman was said to have been arrested & reprimanded by members of the Lae Police command. She was arrested her post on social media that is said to have made reference to a purported sex ring.
