Transport Commissioner Clive Clarke has denied claims that licensing officers locked farmers inside the Northern Wholesale Market in Macoya early yesterday morning during an exercise, saying the operation was led by police and that his officers only provided support.
A short video circulating on social media shows a tense exchange before sunrise, with several men arguing as police officers wearing marked vests stand nearby.
