WIN-called protest-Social media personality arrested, another wanted over alleged Channa bomb threats

A social media personality of Fyrish, Corentyne, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne), was arrested outside of Parliament Building in Georgetown at about 18:00h on Tuesday, following allegations that he discussed making and throwing Channa bombs during Monday’s protest called by We Invest in Nationhood (WIN).

The social media personality was captured in a live broadcast discussing the preparation of the devices outside of the court where United States (US) sanctioned and indicted Opposition Leader and WIN leader Azruddin Mohamed had appeared earlier that day.

Meanwhile, police are searching for another social media personality, residing in East Canje, Berbice, who allegedly made similar statements about preparing and throwing Channa bombs at Freedom House, the headquarters of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C).
