Rahman maintains he had no knowledge that cocaine was in the Caubati property
Joshua Aziz Rahman has maintained in the Suva High Court that he had no knowledge that there were drugs in the house in Caubati.

Drug accused, Joshua Aziz Rahman has maintained in the Suva High Court that he had no knowledge that there were drugs in the house in Caubati.

Rahman was allegedly found in possession of 39.5kg cocaine in Caubati in February 2019.

While giving evidence today, Rahman also says that he was not in charge of the property as it was rented by his father and he did not have access to the master bedroom where the drugs were discovered.

Rahman also claimed in court today that between 2019 and 2020 he was kept in solitary confinement at the Naboro Maximum Prison for 126 days.

He says there were no court orders for him to be taken to solitary confinement.

Rahman told the Suva High Court today that no drugs were found in his room.

He further told the court that at no point in time he was released from custody and re-arrested by the CID Officers.

Rahman claimed in court that the evidence by Usaia Donu where Donu had told the court that he re-arrested Rahman, is a lie.

During cross-examination Assistant DPP Dr. Andrew Jack put to Rahman that Rahman had met some foreign nationals to facilitate the sale of the cocaine which Rahman denied.

Dr. Jack then put to Rahman that Rahman together with his father were in control of the house. Rahman denied this as well.

Closing submissions will be done at 11.30am tomorrow.
