The military move came after Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama’s Fiji First party refused to concede, despite rival Sitiveni Rabuka’s party and two other parties announcing they had formed a majority coalition and would serve as the next government.
Police have not given details of the threats but a previous statement indicated stones had been thrown at homes and businesses.
