. . . Miller asked to himself in
. . . threat level upgraded
. . . Kingston now under curfew
JAMAICA OBSERVER – Former Tivoli Gardens strongman Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke is now being held at Spanish Town Police Station in St Catherine. The fugitive was handed over to police by Reverend Al Miller and is prepared to commit himself to due process and waive his right to an extradition hearing.
The police station has been ringed by soldiers who have taken up strategic positions. Curious onlookers have begun gathering outside the police station.
Coke is wanted by the United States on gun and drug trafficking charges.
A $5 million dollar reward was recently placed for information leading to his arrest.
The police high command is asking the Reverend Al Miller to immediately turn himself in at any police station.
Miller is being asked to come in with his lawyer for questioning, as he is a major person of interest on a matter currently being investigated by the police.
Al Miller was said to have accompanied fugitive Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke when he turned himself in to police this afternoon.
And, with Dudus now in custody, the Police High Command has again raised the threat level from criminal violence against the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) to extremely high, meaning that attacks are expected imminently.
“This upgrading of the threat level is based on intelligence suggesting that detained and displaced criminals as well as other criminals are planning attacks on security personnel and assets,” said a release from the police.
All personnel are urged to take the threat seriously and to raise their level of awareness both on and off duty.
A curfew was imposed at 4pm yesterday in sections of the Corporate Area and will remain
in place until 4:00 pm tomorrow.
During the hours of the curfew, all persons within its boundaries are required to remain within their premises unless otherwise authorised in writing by the  member of the security forces who is in charge of enforcing the curfew.
