(Kaieteur News) – Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed and two other defendants have been granted bail totalling $750,000 each after pleading not guilty to joint charges of unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition and obstruction of justice.
Mohamed, Mario Mohamed and Eugene Thorne appeared before Magistrate Faith McGusty at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, where bail was set at $250,000 per charge for each defendant.
The charges stem from an incident on the night of 12th October into the early hours of 13th October, 2026, in Kitty, Georgetown, involving alleged gunfire near the home of Prem Narine, head of the Special Branch intelligence unit and a witness in ongoing extradition proceedings involving Mohamed.
