The Director of Public Prosecutions, Christopher Pryde, has decided that no charges will be laid against National Federation Party President, Pio Tikoduadua, in relation to a complaint of a breach of the Public Order Act on 20th April 2020.
The police file was sent to the DPP for an assessment of the evidence and a decision on whether any charges should be laid following a complaint.
The DPP states that following a review of the police docket and the evidence, it is their opinion that there is insufficient evidence to support criminal charges against Pio Tikoduadua and, therefore, the docket has been returned to police with the instruction not to charge and no further action is required.
Tikoduadua was taken in for questioning by Police at 12.35am on April 21st after posting a video on Facebook where he talked about the incident where a man was allegedly thrown from the Naqia Village bridge in Wainibuka Tailevu by police officers.
