The Fiji Corrections Service today thanked the Vanua Vusu and the Church for already fulfilling step one of the reintegration process by the manner they accepted their son back with open arms in former 7s-rugby star Eminoni Nasilasila at Namatakula Village on the Coral Coast.

Villagers ran onto the road to greet the FCS party made up of officers from Naboro and the Assistant Commissioner Operations, Alevio Turaga and OC Minimum, ASC Atu Maiono.

The traditional ceremony of returning Nasilasila back to his Vanua, was conducted in the Village hall attended by family, villagers and both the Ratu FIlise rugby union and rugby league team.

Mr Turaga said the scenes he saw today are some of the encouraging things communities can do when a loved one returns from Prison.

“He has served his sentence, paid for his crime and we know he is now in good hands with his own people. We wish him well.”

Nasilasila was sentenced to 8 years with 6-Years Non-Parole Period.

He has been fully discharged after 6-Years from his incarceration date.
