Former Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama and former Police Commissioner Sitiveni Qiliho are anticipated to face court today, having been charged with inciting mutiny. Acting Police Commissioner Mesake Waqa announced that the charges were formally lodged against the pair last night.
Bainimarama and Qiliho underwent approximately three hours of questioning at the Criminal Investigations Department headquarters prior to their transfer to the Totogo Police Station shortly after 6 PM. Each man has been charged with one count of inciting mutiny, a grave offence under Fijian law.
Both individuals spent the night in custody and will appear before the court today, where further details regarding the case are expected to be revealed. This development marks a significant moment in Fiji’s political landscape, and many are awaiting the implications of this legal action.
