Minister Musa Says Attack on ComPol’s House was Egregious

Thomas will have his day in court as he spends his first night in jail, and today we had an opportunity to ask the Minister of Home Affairs, Kareem Musa to speak about the attack on the commissioner’s home. He thinks the incident was egregious and cowardly and he says the police are looking for two more culprits who they believe acted along with Thomas to carry out the crime.

 

Kareem Musa, Minister of Home Affairs

“It is, in my opinion, a very egregious and brazen attack on one of our most prominent public servants the commissioner of police. And our ministry and the government on a whole we absolutely condemn this type of reaction from these gang elements.  Who in my opinion are trying to make a statement. I can tell you that individual has already been detained. He has already been charged with the offense of aggravated assault with possession of a prohibited firearm.  And so that person will be spending some time at Hattieville, at Colby Foundation. But he did not act in isolation. He acted in concert with other individuals. We already have information on who those individuals are, and the police are actively pursuing those individuals.”
