Losalini Takayawa

Kepueli Jikotani is calling for justice and peace of mind as he battles the mental stress and longs to hear from his daughter Losalini Takayawa who was reported missing at the Sigatoka Police Station in 2019.

Jikotani who is from Lau shared his anger and concerns with fijivillage News questioning why the Fiji Police have not given him and his family any update about his missing daughter.

The father of six children says Losalini is the fifth youngest in the family and says she would always call him daily if she needed anything.

According to him, the story that was related to him was that his daughter had a fight with her mother-in-law and another member of the family and she ran to the forest, and that was the last time they saw her.

Jikotani says he was told three different stories by the family, all of them do not make sense, and he is pleading with the Police to investigate the case further.

We have sought comments from Police.

They are yet to respond.
