Meth corridor

WAR ON DRUGS

THE ‘methamphetamine corridor’ has offered the Fiji Police Force a challenge in its campaign to rid society of all forms of illicit drugs.

Defence and National Security Minister Inia Seruiratu said officers within the Eastern Division were vigorously fighting the war on drugs in the Nausori-Nakasi corridor, known to police as the methamphetamine corridor.

POLICE officers within the Eastern Division and around the country are vigorously fighting the war on drugs so that the Nausori-Nakasi corridor is not known as ‘methamphetamine corridor’.

Minister for Defence and National Security Inia Seruiratu highlighted this saying that the Nausori-Nakasi corridor was known as the “methamphetamine corridor”.

He said he knew that the Commissioner of Police Brigadier General Sitiveni Qiliho had aligned the Fiji Police Force’s focus accordingly in ridding our society of all forms of illicit drugs.

“As the Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama declared Fiji has no place for drugs. I do hope and I’m being reliably informed that this is being pursued aggressively within the Nakasi-Nausori corridor,” Mr Seruiratu said.

Brig-Gen Qiliho said they were on top of their game and they would not relent from it.

“We are working with our counterparts from Australia, NZ and the US and we continue to do that work, some of that information obviously we cannot divulge to the public, but as I said we can be rest assured we continue to chip away at that.”
