Minister of Homeland Security Roger Alexander was last night expected to sign three preventive detention orders (PDOs) that would allow police to detain businessman Dominic Hadeed; his wife, Genevierve Hadeed; and their relative 69-year-old Westmoorings businesswo­man Star Sabga, under the Emergency Powers Regulations issued during the state of emergency (SoE).

Sources told the Express that if the orders are execu­ted, the two women are to be housed at the Women’s Pri­son, Golden Grove, Arouca, while Hadeed would be held at the Eastern Correctional Re­­habilitation Centre, Santa Rosa.

The Express was informed that the proposed detention orders relate to national security issues. The specific allegations are expected to be outlined in the PDOs.
