Police in Lautoka are still questioning a man who uploaded a Facebook post calling on people to gather in numbers in major towns and cities to fight against members of the Muslim community.

The suspect who resides at Lomolomo Village in Vuda allegedly posted the message calling on members of the i-Taukei community to arm themselves and fight members of the Muslim community.

According to Police, the man also allegedly called on those residing in the greater Suva area to detain a senior government member.

Investigations continue and only one person is in custody for now.

Acting Police Commissioner Rusiate Tudravu says they are reiterating that the sharing of posts or comments aimed at inciting civil unrest will result in arrest.
