The Fiji Corrections Service and the Fiji Police Force have successfully apprehended four inmates who escaped from the Suva prison last night. The escape occurred around 8:50 PM, prompting a swift response from law enforcement.
The individuals recaptured are Daniel Koroivuki and Selema Nasilivata, who were found in Nakasi. Emosi Rokovesu was apprehended in Newtown, Khalsa Road, while the final escapee, Saula Luveitasau, was captured at Balabala Crescent in Newtown at 8:10 AM this morning.
These inmates were serving sentences for serious offenses, raising concerns about prison security and the effectiveness of current measures in place. Histories of similar escapes have led to increased discussions regarding the urgency for reforms within the correctional system in Fiji.
The Fiji Corrections Service has emphasized the legal ramifications for anyone harboring fugitives and urged the community to remain vigilant in reporting suspicious activities. This incident highlights the crucial role public cooperation plays in maintaining safety and security in communities.
In light of this, there is hope that these recent events will catalyze necessary reforms to enhance security protocols in correctional facilities, ultimately leading to improved safety for both the public and inmates. The rapid recapture of these individuals underscores the commitment of law enforcement to community safety and reinforces the importance of community vigilance during such incidents.
