PPP says employee arrested by police

Ranks of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) yesterday afternoon took into custody a People’s Progressive Party (PPP) employee Jason Abdulla for unknown reasons, a release from the PPP said.

Abdulla was taken into custody at CID Headquarters, Eve Leary and is being moved around suspiciously, the PPP said.

A lawyer looking after the interest of the employee was told by the police that the officers who arrested him had left the station and that no further information was available. The latest information is that he may have been taken to the Grove/Diamond Police station, the PPP said.

At a recent picket exercise in front of the office of the Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission, Kingston the PPP said that the police attempted to arrest Abdulla but subsequently retreated.

“This development reinforces the suspicion of a carefully orchestrated diabolic plan by those in authority to target and harass people associated with the PPP”, the party said.
