The 24-year-old man who allegedly assaulted and robbed a Nadera businessman last week has been charged and will front the Nasinu Magistrates Court today.

Divisional Police Commander South Senior Superintendent of Police Wate Vocevoce says the accused has been charged with one count of aggravated robbery.

Police had questioned two men aged 24 and 39 years at the Valelevu Police Station in relation to the Nadera aggravated robbery case.

SSP Vocevoce had earlier stated that the suspect had allegedly stabbed and robbed a businessman along Visako Circle as he was walking towards his vehicle.

The suspect stole the victim’s laptop bag containing valuable items.

Serious concerns have been raised by a Nadera shop owner after his brother was stabbed 5 times by a thief and robbed in front of their shop.

While raising serious concerns about this brutal act, the Nadera shop owner says there is an illegal kava stall which is situated right on the roadside selling drugs.

He says this is where the suspect came from, and nothing was done.

In a letter to the Nasinu Town Council and the Fiji Police Force, the owner says they have raised concerns about the illegal kava shop to the Special Administrator of the town council, and it’s falling on deaf ears.

He says youths loitering in the area and abuse of drugs in Nadera is happening at a high rate.

The owner says his brother was stabbed 3 times on the arm, once behind the ear, had a near miss on the neck, once on the cheek and once on the chin.

He was taken to the hospital, and Valelevu Police responded within minutes.

The Nasinu Town Council says they will meet with Police relating to the illegal stall, youths loitering and increase in the abuse of drugs in the Nadera area.
