Two church ministers belonging to one of Fiji's largest religious dominations are being investigated by police over alleged sexual abuse of young girls.

Assistant Police Commissioner Crime, Kevueli Bulamainaivalu said the victims aged between 14 and 18 are from Vanua Levu and the outer islands of Koro and Gau.

Bulamainaivalu said a team of officers from the Nausori Police Station had gone to Vanua Levu to assist with investigations.

The two ministers are understood to have been suspended by the Methodist Church.

The church has been hesitant to comment on the matter saying if the allegations are true, it was the responsibility of the church to deal with the matter internally.

Police are yet to lay any charges.
