And Divisional Crime Officer Western Waisea Kadawa, who is currently on leave, has denied reports in one of the dailies this morning that he issued the directive that these soldiers be stopped from leaving.
It has been confirmed that 5 soldiers and a police officer implicated in the cases that stopped at the Nadi International Airport yesterday after being assigned to overseas missions.
