If you have nothing to do at the checkpoint, don’t come there.

This is the stern warning that has come from the Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho as people have been arrested for trying to get through the Lautoka checkpoint.

Twelve people have already been produced in court for allegedly breaching the COVID-19 restrictions in the Lautoka lockdown area.

They are charged with Disobedience of Lawful Order.

Uni Fiji Vice-Chancellor Update

The taxi driver that transported the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Fiji who illegally violated the Lautoka confined area and caught a flight to Sydney has been charged.

The driver from Tuvu, Lautoka was arrested yesterday for alleged disobedience of lawful order.

Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho says the man allegedly used his taxi to transport the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Fiji based in Lautoka to the Nadi Airport last Saturday through Kings Highway.

Qiliho says they are looking at other people that helped her go past the border.
