Police have now officially confirmed that they are not investigating claims by a man that he was allegedly assaulted by a police officer last year.
Taniela Lomani alleged that he was assaulted near the Suva bus stand by an officer who was not in a police uniform.
In December last year, Police spokesperson Ana Naisoro had confirmed to Fijivillage they were investigating the claims made by Lomani.
She had also confirmed at the time that police would investigate Lomani’s claims against the officer to also establish the circumstances surrounding what could have transpired that led to the actions of the officer.
When asked about the progress of the investigations, Naisoro says the man has not lodged a complaint with police.
Police will only investigate if a complaint has been lodged.
