Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho

Police Commissioner, Sitiveni Qiliho has highlighted that no one will enter or leave Lautoka during the isolation period.

Qiliho says they have been receiving calls and messages from people who wish to enter or leave Lautoka for all sorts of reasons but the Commissioner is urging everyone that what they are doing is for the benefit of everyone.

He adds they are now working with the Republic of Fiji Military Forces to tighten up the Lautoka border as they have heard rumors that some people are trying to get in through the Sabeto waterways.

He says they have not taken anyone to task for this issue as yet.

Qiliho also stated that all foreign nationals inside the border will remain inside during the isolation period.

He adds they have set up five checkpoints to help them prevent people from entering Lautoka and has stated that only essential goods will be able to go in and out of Lautoka.

The Commissioner also stated that people should not be spreading rumors and false information as this can create fear and panic.
