Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has expressed deep sympathy over the passing of the late Dr. Isireli Biumaitotoya, a well-known Nadi-based medical doctor and social media influencer.

The Prime Minister said it is unchristian to respond violently toward someone who differs from you. He emphasized that people should not offend or look down on others, whether because of sexual orientation, physical condition, or any other reason, calling such behavior “very unkind.”

It is alleged that Dr. Biumaitotoya was murdered at his Nadi home yesterday, and authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding his death.
