In what has been seen as a continuous rebellion of defiance, the Sakare tribe’s systematic acts of criminality have pushed Papua New Guinea’s Law enforcement to the brink. The acting Assistant Commissioner of Police, Commander of highlands Western end and Controller of the Porgera State of Emergency 2024/2025 Joseph Tondop has declared the Sakare Tribe along Laigam to Maip Road an “outlaw tribe”. a/ACP Tondop declared this in a recent statement on Friday 18th 2025 issuing the Emergency Order No. 28, following the Sakare tribe’s systematic acts of criminal nature pushing the nation’s Law enforcement to the brink. The Sakare tribe’s recent hijacking of two container trucks carrying essential store goods marks just one episode in a four-year saga that has cost business houses over K2.4 million. This is not random lawlessness. According to a/ACP Tondop it is an organized culture of aggression rooted in clan dominance, where state authority is not just ignored but mocked. A/ACP Tondop’s order is not merely administrative—it’s a statement of a state losing patience. The Sakare have previously stripped a government ambulance, sabotaged key road infrastructure, and resisted law enforcement under the guise of tribal grievances. Their latest demand for the return of a confiscated illegal weapon is absurdly emblematic of this rogue mentality. The Sakar Tribe has now been labelled as an “Outlaw Tribe” and its members will be treated as such Facie unless proven otherwise. SOE Controller Tondop has issued six strict directives to settle the continuous unlawful behaviors to expel lawlessness for good. Anyone who fails to comply will be charged and prosecuted, and those who resist or threaten SSF Personnel may be shot without warning. There’s a fine line between tradition and transgression, and in Enga’s highlands, that line has been trampled by fire and theft. That violence and destruction will no longer be tolerated by the state.
