THE 3462 unregistered and illicit firearms missing after the 2000 coup are still floating around in our communities, Opposition MP Salote Radrodro told Parliament yesterday.
She said this information was revealed during a regional workshop she attended last week which was on “gun violence and illicit small arms trafficking from a gender perspective.”
“We were advised that Fiji has about 3462 unregistered and illicit firearms missing from the military armoury after the 2000 coup,” Mrs Radrodro said.
“They are still floating around in our communities.
“And there are about 16,700 guns under the military and 2,000 guns under the police force.
