Families in Raiwai are living in fear after the recent violent attacks involving youths resulted in the abduction of the two Raiwai youths last weekend.

This was highlighted by Reverend Moce Biudole of Raiwai Methodist Church who also confirms that a lady came to their home earlier this week and was escorted to her home as she was scared of the recent violent attacks in the Raiwai neighborhood.

Reverend Biudole says some families are now talking about the fear of losing their sons and loved ones from being abducted again.

He says the two boys and their families do not have any clue about the drug-related issues but have suffered from the terrible move.

He adds that one of the responsibilities of the church is to arrange peace talks to mend broken relationships and build hope in the community so that trust is built for the betterment of our country.

Reverend Biudole pleads to the groups involved in this to put an end to this so that we can live in peace.

He also says Raiwai is ready to have peace talks with the group and settle things out for the betterment of their youths.
