Auki police in Malaita Province have arrested three people for brewing kwaso, (a locally made alcohol drink) over the weekend in Gwailiki community, West Kwara’ae. 

Malaita’s Provincial Police Commander (PPC) Superintendent Michael Ramosaea said the arrest was made after they received a report from Gwailiki community. 

He said the three people who were arrested include one woman and two men. 

“The arrest was made at the Gwailiki community and involves one woman aged 24 and two men aged 32 and 29, respectively,” he said. 

According to Superintendent Ramosaea, this is the first case of arrest in the community which had been upholding good law and order.

Two of the suspects are remanded in jail, awaiting their court hearing on a later date while the woman was released on bail.

Ramosaea appeals to the community’s elders, chiefs, and parents to work together with Auki police to report unwanted activities in the communities.

He said this is the only way to lessen unwanted activities and behaviors in the communities and societies that people enjoy living in.

“I want to make my appeal to the community leaders, chiefs, and especially the parents. Please work together with our police and report those involved in such unwanted social activities.

“To the parents, please get to know what your children are doing every day, because the police will not tolerate anyone involved in unwanted social activities such as brewing and drinking kwaso in our societies,” he said.
