Qiliho said that this alleged act if found to be true is unacceptable and deplorable, and will not allow any member of the Fiji Police Force to think that he or she is above the law.
He added that Police officers are well versed with their roles in upholding and respecting the rights of those who are brought into their custody, and any officer whose actions contravene these rights will be dealt with severely through their internal disciplinary processes and brought before the court of law to answer to their crime.
At a time when they are calling for support for the work of our police officers, they cannot be seen to be breaching the very laws that they swore an oath to uphold and once those involved are identified, he will remove them from the Force while they await the outcomes of the criminal investigation that is running concurrently to the internal investigation.
Qiliho want to personally assure members of the public that any breach of the law by the Police officers will be given priority in terms of investigations which he will personally oversee.
