The Fiji Police Force says there is a special task force that is handling the former Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum’s case, which works under the direction of the Director CID.

Chief of Intelligence and Investigations Assistant Commissioner of Police Surend Sami says the process of getting statements and necessary evidence continues by the investigators, and once the process is completed then the next course of action will be taken.

ACP Sami further says they do not want to pressure the investigators and must allow them to conduct their work thoroughly.

Sayed-Khaiyum is back in the country.

Minister for Rural Maritime Development and Disaster Management and General Secretary for the People’s Alliance, Sakiasi Ditoka had filed a complaint against Sayed-Khaiyum on the 22nd of December last year for allegedly inciting racial hatred and violence in view of his public statements at a press conference in Suva.
