Taxi driver disappears after leaving home to make pickup at CJIA

A Georgetown resident, who is attached to Nigel’s Taxi Service on Sheriff Street, Georgetown, has disappeared after he left his home for work on Friday evening.
The taxi driver, Grivel Ramnarine, also known as “Benn’s family” of Leopold Street, Georgetown, was not heard from since.
His mother, Shellon Benn told Guyana Times on Sunday that she has had sleepless nights since the disappearance of her 27-year-old son. She added that not knowing his whereabouts is a traumatising experience.
“We [the family] is at a loss we don’t know what to do”, the grieving mother said.
On Friday at about 19:00h, Ramnarine left his home and told his mother that he had to make a pick up at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, Timehri, and as such, he would return late.
However, after some time elapsed and no signs of her son, she contacted his mobile phone which went unanswered and on the second attempt, the phone was turned off.
“When he left, he said he was going to the airport, I don’t know if it was then or later in the night… he said he wouldn’t come back early… he didn’t say who he was going to pick up…first his phone ringing out, and then it keep going to voicemail,” she said.
A missing person’s report was made at Brickdam Police Station and a search party was established. After searching various locations, there were no signs of the missing man.
“The police said that they gonna send out information to all the police stations, and in the meantime, we must contact the different media places so that we can put up a missing person…” the frustrated mother stated.
On the night of his disappearance, he was wearing light green three-quarter pants, slippers and a white t-shirt. He was described as a man of mixed race, heavily built, short, and brown in complexion with curly hair.
The taxi driver’s mother is pleading with her son to contact his family so that they will be able to have peace of mind knowing that he is alive.
Nevertheless, anyone with information about Ramnarine’s whereabouts is asked to contact his family on 619-1351, 689-5292 and 503-2070 or the nearest police station.
