ANOTHER woman described as the love interest of a Tunapuna gang leader, along with the gang leader himself and his cousin, who is accused of a recent kidnapping, are among the latest detainees held under the state of emergency (SoE).

The woman is said to be the second-in-command of the OCG Resistance Gang, while the gang leader, despite being in prison since 2020, was accused of communicating with and directing his gang members to “murder, kidnapping for ransom, and other violent offences,” making him an immediate and serious threat to public safety.

Nineteen detention orders signed off by Minister of Homeland Security Roger Alexander were gazetted as legal notices 285-303 on August 19. They were signed between July 31 and August 15.
