Mohamed’s Lawyer Gives Police Monday Deadline to Retract Statement on Destroyed Records

Attorneys representing businessman Nazar Mohamed and Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed have demanded that the Guyana Police Force (GPF) withdraw a public statement concerning the destruction of records referenced during the ongoing extradition proceedings, arguing that the statement does not accurately reflect the sworn testimony of the Force’s own witness.

The demand was contained in a September 18, 2026 letter from Senior Counsel Roysdale Forde of Forde, Amsterdam & Lewis to Police Commissioner Dr Clifton Hicken.

The dispute arose after the GPF issued a clarification concerning reports about records discussed during the committal proceedings before Chief Magistrate Judy Latchman. In the statement, the Force rejected “any suggestion that documents of evidential value relating to the proceedings were destroyed.”
