The Fiji Police Force reiterates its earlier assurance that all efforts are being directed towards ensuring everyone’s safety during this post-election period.

Police Commissioner Brigadier General Sitiveni Qiliho says they can confirm that there have been two confirmed reports of stoning received within the Southern Division within the last 24-hours and all efforts are being directed to rounding up those involved.

He says at the same time, they have received unconfirmed reports of alleged stoning incidents whereby the callers have refused to lodge official reports.

Qiliho says a team headed by the Divisional Crime Officer North has been tasked to conduct a thorough investigation into a report of vandalism lodged this morning.

He says they emphasize the importance of lodging official reports, to allow for the conduct of investigation, so those responsible can be arrested, charged and brought before a court of law.

The Commissioner says such cowardly acts will not be condoned, and they are committing all available resources to ensuring those responsible are brought to justice.

He adds they are assuring members of the public of their unwavering commitment towards the maintenance of law and order for the facilitation of the political process following the recent political developments.
