Essequibo man on ammo charge blames former in-law for set up

A man, charged with being in possession of several rounds of ammunition, is claiming that he is being set up by a former in-law.

Magistrate Leron Daly yesterday read a charge to Ishan Alli which stated that on February 4, at Essequibo, he had four .32 rounds of ammunition in his possession without being the holder of a firearm licence.

Alli, a student of Essequibo Technical Institute, denied the allegation levelled against him.
