Fiji's former prime minister Frank Bainimarama and the suspended Police Commissioner Brigadier General Sitiveni Qiliho have pled not guilty to abuse of office charges.

They appeared in court this morning, after spending the night in custody.

The charges relate to a complaint laid with the police by the University of the South Pacific in July 2019.
