Vilisi Nadaku, the man who stopped traffic in Nabua at the weekend to protest against the High Court decision on the Laisenia Qarase case against the President, pleaded not guilty in court today.

Nadaku has been charged with malicious intent to act in a prejudicial manner under the Public Order Act.

He is alleged to have stopped traffic with his Honda CRV vehicle in Nabua and carried out a lone protest brandishing a sign “Where is Justice?”.

The four lane traffic in Nabua was reduced to two lanes as he allegedly called on the public to stand up against the court decision and the interim Government.

Nadaku, who was represented by Barbara Malimali, appeared before Magistrate Amani Rokotinaviti and told the court that the police took him to the military camp.

He has been released on $200 bail and will reappear on the 13th of the next month for mention.
