3 arrested for threatening to kill President Granger

Ranks of the Guyana Police Force have arrested three persons, including a pensioner, over phone calls made to the emergency hotline by persons threatening to kill President David Granger.
According to a brief statement from the Police Public Relations Department on Friday, “…Investigation continues into threatening phone calls made against the life of His Excellency, President David Granger…”
These calls were received and recorded on the 911 emergency system at

Brickdam on March 20, 2018.
The 65-year-old suspect is said to be a resident from the East Coast of Demerara.
This is not the first time that threats have been made against the life of the Head of State.
Police Commissioner David Ramnarine had confirmed in November last that Police are investigating reports of an inmate at the Lusignan Prison calling the 911 emergency line and threatening to kill President Granger and officers of the Guyana Police Force.
Reports surfaced in March last year of an alleged plot to assassinate the Head of State, and some $7 million was allegedly offered to carry out the act. However, after several weeks of Police investigations, President Granger ordered a Commission of Inquiry into the alleged assassination plot. The Commission found that while some aspects of the allegation have a “ring of truth, it was not confirmed during the inquiry.”
Additionally, a 52-year-old resident of Vergenoegen, East Bank Essequibo, Bibi Safoora Salim, was charged after she allegedly used Facebook to issue threatening and derogatory statements against the Head of State.
