Police will continue to issue advisories and hope that people will take them seriously for their own good.
Police raised concerns after a video was posted on Facebook showing the villagers of Navala, Ba transporting individuals in the middle of a flooded river.
Chief Operations Officer (COO) Acting Assistant Commissioner of Police (A/ACP) Livai Driu says a man lost his life yesterday in a similar situation, and despite the repeated calls to be safe, it is unfortunate that some still take such risks.
Police are urging Fijians to follow advisories issued by the Fiji NDMO and Fiji Meteorological Service.
