BRIEF REPORTANALYSIS
Reverend Josefa SEWALE of the Methodist Church of Fiji is currently residing at Quaia Lami and holding the position of Quaia MCF Circuit Minister which falls under Lami Division.
On the 29th March Rev SEWALE was invited to a function at the Fiji National University [FIT] Samabula. Rev SEWALE has claimed that during the function a flyer regarding BLACK TUESDAY was been circulated. Rev SEWALE was also given with a copy which he kept it.
Rev SEWALE further claims that upon reaching home and seeing the contents of the flyer he had met with Military officers whom he claimed are from Military Intelligence Dept residing at Quauia and given the said flyer to them explaining the circumstances behind the flyer as to how it was been circulated.
Rev SEWALE also claimed that the said Military officers again visited him and asked more information pertaining to the issue whereby he informed them the following;
· That a lecturer at Samabula campus, Pita WAQAWAI is a very close associate of Suliasi DAUNITUTU of the Fiji Democracy and Freedom Movement;
· Rev SEWALE claimed that he has served at Australia as MCF steward and is aware the two’ s connection as friends;
· That WAQAWAI is constantly communicating with the Movement members in abroad.
Rev SEWALE has stated that on Friday 6th April, 2012 the Military officers have questioned Pita WAQAWAI on the issue which he denied.
Then the same officers visited Rev SEWALE again when they were nearly chased by the reverend claiming that officers should not have approached Pita in such manner and should have done more background investigations in order in Pita not be able to defend.
Another source who is a friend of Pita WAQAWAI on his face book account have extracted the following from WAQAWAI’ s account which is very much beneficial to current situation and case in hand.
There were two occasion since February 2012 WAQAWAI has posted comments or received comments from DAUNITUTU;
· 7TH Feb, 12 [9.20pn] Vinaka Pita. I like to see Fijians excel and judging by your post you have views that agree with what I am an advocate for. This will have to begin from a legal or RIGHT platform. Teaching our children to respect the rule of law would be a good starting point. Thank you for your post, your ideas and opinion will be much appreciated and welcomed in the Demo forum. Loloma yani Tau, stay safe and well.
· On 8th Feb, 12 – WAQAWAI commented on one of DAUNITUTU’s discussion issue on facebook title BACK TO DEMOCRACY - "Bula vinaka. I fully support efforts made in Fiji and abroad to get Fiji back to electoral democracy. Indeed, Fiji needs a change. Yes! And here's hopefully positive that a better Fiji awaits its people down the road - come…".
