A senior police source in the Special Investigation Unit (SIU) has told Newsday that the decision to limit the movements of Jamaican singer Adijah "Vybz Kartel" Palmer may be for his protection as well as the country's safety.

The comments come amid media reports that Defence Minister Wayne Sturge has ordered two media interviews and some public events to be cut from Palmer’s itinerary.

Palmer is scheduled to arrive in TT on May 26 before performing five days later at the One Caribbean Music Festival on May 31.
