Mohamed Returns to Site of His Tormentors, Vows to Expose Ali and Corruption

Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed has returned to Leonora, West Coast Demerara, the home village of President Irfaan Ali, to renew his allegations of corruption surrounding a major property development next to the President’s estate—days after police twice detained him during the night while he was in the area.

Mohamed described Leonora as the place where he has faced increasing police scrutiny while pursuing what he says is his effort to expose corruption and question the use of public resources.

On September 3, police intercepted Mohamed and members of his team near President Ali’s private residence after receiving reports of alleged unauthorised drone activity. Mohamed was questioned and released on self-bail. Police later searched the residences of members of his team as part of the investigation. No charges have been announced against Mohamed in connection with the incident.
