The Papua New Guinea police commissioner David Manning is warning social media users who spread false information that they will be held accountable.
Manning was responding to claims about police pay circulating on social media, which he said are untrue and cause disharmony.
The commissioner said that the loyal men and women of the PNG constabulary can be assured that this disinformation is being investigated, the Post-Courier reported.
He said those who continue to abuse online systems that their days of spreading disinformation are numbered.
"We remain vigilant, our investigators remain dedicated, and our people have had enough of your lies and deception."
