The Samoa Police has withdrawn a security detail assigned to safeguard the leader of the Human Right Protection Party saying there was no longer a risk.
Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi was assualted by at least one elderly women last month at the Ministry of Justice and Courts Administration carpark.
Police provided security for Tuilaepa following a written request by the former prime minister.
After two-and-a-half weeks the Ministry of Police and Prisons recalled the officer.
