Fiji’s Director of Public Prosecutions Christopher Pryde has decided that no charges will be laid against Opposition Member of Parliament Pio Tikoduadua in relation to a complaint of a breach of the Public Order Act on April 20, 2020.
The police file was sent to the DPP for an assessment of the evidence and a decision on whether any charges should be laid following a complaint.
In a statement issued today, the DPP stated that “following a review of the police docket and the evidence, it is our opinion that there is insufficient evidence to support criminal charges against the Honourable Pio Tikoduadua and, therefore, the docket has been returned to police with the instruction not to charge and no further action is required”.
The National Federation Party president was arrested on the night of April 20 over an alleged video that he posted on social media earlier that day.
