Lord Tu’iha’ateiho has been arrested Wednesday and charged after reports of a firearm being seen, according to Tonga Police.
Kaniva News has learned Police acted after an incident that happened at the noble’s estate of Ha’ateiho on April 15.
Police said more charges will be laid. The former Deputy Speaker of Parliament remains in Police custody.
In March 2015 Lord Tu’iha’ateiho was fined $2,500 pa’anga on one charge of possession of a firearm, a .22 automatic pistol without a license.
Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
