COUP IN THE FORCE!

" ACTING Police Commissioner Romanu Tikotikoca has been unceremoniously removed from office, a month before his contract was to expire.
Mr Tikotikoca confirmed to PACNEWS that he received his letter from the Constitutional Offices Commission at the weekend.

''The letter said that I was to vacate office with immediate effect from Monday 2 July 2007,'' ACP Titotikoca said.

Tikotikoca was offered the police commissioner's job whilst serving as chief security for Gold Ridge Mining in Solomon Islands.

He took up office in February this year as acting police commissioner.
Last month, the substantative appointment was given to military deputy commander, Esala Teleni.

A senior police officer who did not want to be named told PACNEWS the removal of the acting police chief and other senior police officers ''tantamounts to a coup within the police force.''
Pacnews understands that three senior police officers, at acting police commissioner level have also been suspended. "

Acting Police Commish, Romanu Tikotikoca's removal from office one month before his official contract expires was uncalled for. This move by the Constitutional Offices Commission was unecessary incident, however the higher ups may have been "ordered " to have him removed due to his vocal stand against the FICAC's chaotic cleanup rampage through the Police Force.

This may not have gone down lightly with the Illegal Interim Government, therefore the sudden departure of Tikotikoca shows us that will not allow anyone to stand in their way.

What a sad and trying time for our nation to see good men removed from office! They called him away from his lucrative job in the Solomon's, in a bid to offer him the top cop job but changed their minds in the process as they saw he was taking an ANTI COUP stand.

Much thanks and appreciation goes to Mr. Tikotikoca for telling it like it is and refusing to side with an Illegal Regime.
