expanded to several other villages including Enmore, Lusignan, Good Hope and Mon Repos but the police took hours to respond and the riot squad is now in place.
In response to the peaceful turned violent protest, President Dr Irfaan Ali told the News Room that the “police must protect people’s lives and property. It is obvious that this is not all about justice for Bacchus.”
The President said the protest has now turned to “barefaced theft, damage to property and outrageous lawlessness by some. The police must arrest those who are openly damaging public and private property and stealing from citizens.”
The Head of State made it clear that “those instigating this lawlessness must also be brought to justice. We as a democratic society and a country must never allow this. Our collective voices must condemn it.”
