Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander has issued a stern warning to the public, emphasising that weapons have no place in Trinidad and Tobago’s Carnival celebrations and that anyone found in possession will face serious consequences.
Speaking with Guardian Media during the Children’s Carnival parade and treat along the Eastern Main Road, Tunapuna, yesterday, Alexander said that bringing weapons to Carnival events signals trouble.
He urged revellers, particularly during J’Ouvert, to come with good intentions and leave weapons at home.
