Two Liahona ex-students arrested as Tonga police officers spent Thursday and Friday patrolling the downtown Nuku’alofa after reports of ongoing student fights at the Nuku'alofa seafront bus station.
Police said the two Liahona ex-students are in their 20s and were in Police custody after they allegedly attacked Apifo’ou students including a prefect.
No charges have been made as investigations continued.
Police said ex-students involving in the fight make it difficult in their attempt to arrest fighters because they wore plain clothes.
A source said the schools were said to be on lockdown alert and parents are told to make sure their children are at home during the weekend after the series of fights escalated since the last couple of weeks.

Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
