Police refrained from conducting further evictions

Acting Special Services Division Southern Command, Rumut Pachichi, says he has informed all members under his command to refrain from carrying out evictions.

He said he has been informed about the situation regarding the eviction of tenants at Gordon’s and has issued a directive to officers to refrain from further action.

Tenants at Gordon claim that six vehicles with fully armed SSD officers evicted them on the eve of Christmas with a court order.

Pachichi says he has seen the purported court order for the eviction of the tenants.

He informed this newsroom that he personally questioned the validity of the court order and is seeking clarification from his superiors as well as from the Constabulary’s lawyers.
