Fiji’s Commissioner of Police Brigadier-General Sitiveni Qiliho clarified that the three were never locked up in a cell and were in the CID office at Totogo Police Station.

“No further action will be taken,” Brig-Gen Qiliho said.

“The three were provided meals, taken to a restaurant to get their dinner and this morning were in the care of officers from the Tourist Police in their office where they were given breakfast and coffee was brought in for them,” he added.
