WIN organiser wanted by Police for gun assault on woman over Nomination Day mobilisation payment

Bradley “Doggie” Sampson, a well-known organiser and activist affiliated with We Invest in Nationhood (WIN), is wanted by the Guyana Police Force (GPF) in connection with a series of serious offences, including the alleged assault of a woman with a firearm during a dispute over payment for political mobilisation efforts on Nomination Day.
The incident occurred on Tuesday at the Square of the Revolution, Brickdam, during what is alleged to be payments for persons who were mobilised to march with political group WIN on Nomination Day when the party headed by United States (US) sanctioned businessman, Azruddin Mohamed went to present his list of candidates to the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM). Videos circulating on social media captured Sampson involved in a violent altercation at the scene over what is alleged to be under payment of persons who participated in the march.
According to police wanted bulletin issued on Tuesday evening, Sampson is being sought for questioning in relation to several offences under the Summary Jurisdiction (Offences) Act and the Firearm Act, including threatening behaviour; threatening language; obscene language; disorderly behaviour; assault; possession of firearm without a licence and possession of ammunition without a licence.
Sampson is a close associate of US-sanctioned Azruddin Mohamed, who is currently under scrutiny in Guyana’s Court in a high-profile tax evasion case. Sampson and others, reportedly funded by Mohamed, were previously among a hostile group accused of obstructing law enforcement officers and Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) agents during an attempt to seize several luxury vehicles — including a Lamborghini, Ferrari, Rolls Royce and Toyota Land Cruisers — from Mohamed’s Houston, Greater Georgetown residence.
This latest development adds to a growing list of public controversies involving Sampson. In May, he and three others including social media personalities Rahyana “Fatta” Goring, Shanella Holder, and overseas-based Malika “Farren Dolly” Lewis were charged following a brawl at the Square of the Revolution that was livestreamed and promoted on social media.
Sampson and Goring were accused of inciting Holder and Lewis to engage in a physical fight stemming from a social media feud. Prosecutors said Sampson was seen offering a $200,000 reward to the first woman to arrive for the confrontation, which drew hundreds of spectators and was eventually dispersed by police using rubber pellets. One person was reportedly shot in the buttocks during the chaos.
During their appearance before Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, both Sampson and Goring were granted $250,000 bail each and warned to conduct themselves responsibly, particularly on social media. Sampson was also ordered to surrender his passport.
Holder and Lewis were each placed on $15,000 bail pending further legal advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
Law enforcement officials have appealed to the public for assistance in locating Sampson. Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is urged to contact the nearest police station or call 911.
There were previous legal challenges mounted by opposition members throughout various stages of Hicken’s appointment as Top Cop but they were all dismissed by the courts.
