Where Is Daniel Seeram? Questions Mount Over Convicted Official’s Whereabouts

Questions are mounting over the whereabouts of National Border Patrol Director and former Region Four Chairman Daniel Seeram, after a court ordered him remanded to prison following his conviction for assaulting his former wife, but reports indicate that he had not been transferred to the Prison Service.

Seeram was convicted on October 2 by Magistrate Abigail Gibbs of assault causing actual bodily harm against his former wife, Farzana Hamid, following a trial that lasted nearly three years. He was immediately remanded pending sentencing, which is scheduled for November 2, 2026.

His attorney, Nigel Hughes, subsequently approached the High Court seeking judicial review of the magistrate’s decision to refuse bail. Justice Joy Persaud-Singh dismissed the application on October 5, finding no indication that Magistrate Gibbs had acted unlawfully, irrationally or outside her jurisdiction. The decision to keep Seeram in custody pending sentencing was therefore upheld.
