Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Kasiano Vusonilawe has addressed concerns regarding security during the week-long incineration of 4.5 tonnes of methamphetamine at the Dignified Crematorium in Nausori. He reassured the public of their safety with a robust presence of police and military personnel monitoring the area throughout the operation.
SSP Vusonilawe confirmed that there are no ongoing security threats, stating, “We don’t have any security threats at the moment… I want to assure the public that the area is secure.” Comprehensive security measures were implemented two days before the destruction began, with operations set to take place daily from 8 am to 5 pm.
This operation follows a High Court order and has been diligently planned to avoid any disruptions. Previous reports highlighted similar operations, such as the destruction of 4.15 tonnes of methamphetamine, which followed strict security protocols. These include controlled incineration, a widely recognized safe method for drug disposal.
The joint efforts of Fiji’s law enforcement agencies, including collaboration with international organizations, reflect a united approach to combating drug trafficking. This commitment helps cultivate a sense of shared responsibility among stakeholders, reinforcing the authorities’ dedication to eradicating harmful substances. Moreover, these actions symbolize hope for a community focused on safety and well-being.
The ongoing destruction of these drugs marks a significant advancement in Fiji’s fight against drug-related crime, enhancing public confidence in law enforcement. Through this initiative, Fijian authorities not only aim to remove a major threat but also bolster their commitment to ensuring the health and safety of all citizens, paving the way for a brighter future for the community.
