Anti-drug advocates in Fiji are stunned following yesterday's mammoth methamphetamine seizure.
Almost eight hundred containers filled with the drug were found in an under-construction home in Nadi.
Police have provided no figure on the dollar amount of the seizure, but New Zealand trends suggest a street value in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
An investigation is now underway into allegations that prominent figures and officials may be connected to the reportedly multi-million dollar bust.
Drug Free World Fiji founder Kalesi Volatabu spoke to Charlotte Cook.
