Jone Vakarisi.

Suva man, Jone Vakarisi appeared in the Suva Magistrates Court again this afternoon under heavy police presence and the case will be called again at 4pm for Police to argue why they are objecting to bail after the prosecution said that Vakarisi is the alleged instigator of the brawl in Nabua.

In this case, Vakarisi is facing one count of abduction of a person under 18 years with intent to have carnal knowledge.

The girl is 17 years old.

Vakarisi allegedly committed the offence between 12th to 20th August.

The report was lodged by the girl's mother.

The Police prosecution told the court that Vakarisi was in a relationship with the girl and that they had a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship.

Vakarisi told the court that he has taken a tabua to the girl's family.

The prosecution revealed that they were objecting to bail because they have information that Vakarisi was the alleged instigator of the brawl that happened in Nabua on Monday.

Vakarisi argued that he was in the Police Station for this new case when the brawl happened on Monday.

He also told the court that he now lives in Rewa Street and not Nabua.

Vakarisi also revealed that he was not vaccinated.

Magistrate Waleen George has told Police to come back with more information at 4pm to assist the court.
