We know their tactics, so we ran away when they landed this morning at the jetty in the town, belonging to Tompolo’s father,” one of the sources told the Vanguard. Tompolo’s father reportedly was not in Kurutie when the military raided the town this morning, but an over 70-year-old man, simply named as Do Good Ikekama, is among the citizens supposedly molested and forced to take the soldiers around some homes.
