Daniel Seeram Convicted of Assaulting Former Wife, Seeks High Court Bail

National Border Patrol Director Daniel Seeram is seeking High Court bail after being convicted of assaulting his former wife, Farzana Hamid, and remanded pending sentencing. Justice Joy Persaud-Singh will hear the application on Monday as the court considers whether he can be released under conditions such as surrendering his passport and reporting to police. The case has drawn attention because of Seeram’s senior public role.

National Border Patrol Unit Director Daniel Seeram was convicted at Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court of assaulting his ex-wife, Farzana Hamid, causing actual bodily harm, after the court rejected his claim that he only pushed her. He was remanded to custody pending sentencing in 2026, but his lawyers quickly filed for judicial review, and a High Court judge ordered him held until Monday’s hearing.

Director of National Border Patrol Daniel Seeram has been convicted of assaulting his former wife after a trial in the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court, nearly three years after the September 2023 incident in Cummings Lodge, Greater Georgetown. He was remanded to prison and will return on November 2 for sentencing. The case is notable because Seeram was a senior public official and former PNC/R executive.

Former Region Four chairman and current National Border Patrol Director Daniel Seeram was convicted on Friday of assaulting his former wife, Farzana Hamid, causing actual bodily harm in a 2023 incident at their Cummings Lodge apartment. Magistrate Abigail Gibbs remanded him to prison and set sentencing for November 2, 2026. The case highlights continuing concerns over domestic violence in Guyana.
