Former Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama and former Police Commissioner, Sitiveni Qiliho are currently being questioned at the CID Headquarters.
fijivillage News has received confirmation that Bainimarama and Qiliho are being questioned in the presence of their legal counsel.
Acting Police Commissioner Mesake Waqa says the two are being questioned in relation to alleged mutiny.
In a statement after the 2022 general elections on the 22nd of December, the then Police Commissioner Qiliho had said that a decision had been reached to call in the Republic of Fiji Military Forces to assist Police with the maintenance of security and stability.
Qiliho said this decision was made as more information and reports were received by Police and RFMF of threats made against minority groups who were living in fear following recent political developments.
A meeting was held on that day between the then Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama, the then Minister for Defence, National Security and Policing Inia Seruiratu, RFMF Commander and Director General National Security Major General Jone Kalouniwai and Qiliho.
The statement said they came to an agreement for RFMF personnel to assist Police with the maintenance of law and order, amidst growing concerns of racial tension.
Meanwhile in an exclusive interview, Major General Ro Jone Kalouniwai revealed on fijivillage Straight Talk With Vijay Narayan in March 2024 that he was getting calls from certain people after the 2022 general elections to remove certain people from some positions.
Major General Kalouniwai says these were real testing times for the RFMF.
When asked on what is his stand on those detractors trying to derail the RFMF’s standards and principles and influence the RFMF to take illegal actions against the government which could even result in him being targeted, the Commander says he will continue to follow the rule of law.
