No Parliamentarian Was Raided for Drugs – Police

No Member of Parliament was raided for drugs, the Fiji Police Force has confirmed, putting to rest mischievous rumours being spread by political trolls on social media about Hon. Lenora Qereqeretabua.

Police say the search conducted at a residence in Samabula on Thursday night had nothing to do with any MP, and was instead part of an ongoing investigation to locate documents linked to a suspect.

According to Police, the suspect — who is related to a family member of the MP — had earlier been arrested in Wainadoi and was present during the search.

“No drugs were found,” Police said, adding that the search was a standard investigative process and that speculation circulating online was false.

Investigations into the matter are continuing.

This incident highlights the importance of not believing every rumour you hear online, especially ones that target innocent individuals.
