A team from the Criminal Investigations Department will extract and verify information disclosed by a former police officer in a social media video, which alleges the involvement of public officials in the illicit drug trade.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Crime (ACP/C) Mesake Waqa says that further actions will be decided following the verification process.

ACP/C Waqa also confirmed that, before the video’s release, efforts were already underway to establish connections to those involved in the drug trade, aligning with the Commissioner of Police’s aim to disrupt the activities of implicated individuals or groups.
