REPORTS FROM PORT MORESBY late this afternoon say a warrant has been issued for the arrest of Papua New Guinea's opposition leader, Belden Namah, who is alleged to have threatened Police Commissioner Tom Kulunga.

Mr Kulunga said that Mr Namah had threatened him in a letter demanding that the Commissioner reinstate four police officers suspended as the result of an earlier warrant issued for the arrest of Prime Minister Peter O'Neill.

Despite an earlier commitment only use social media or communicating to the public, Mr Namah is expected to give a press conference tonight.
