– threatened on Facebook to bomb all stores in Guyana

A 23-YEAR-OLD man was on Monday remanded to prison by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan for inciting public terror, after he made a post on Facebook threating to bomb all of the stores in Guyana.

Shiam Wazim Nizam denied the allegation that between June 1 and 3, 2018 at Parika, East Bank Essequibo (EBE), with intent to cause public terror, he wrote on his Facebook post “Essequibo belongs to Venezuela… I will bomb all the stores of your country one by one.”
Nizam, a labourer of Parika Backdam, EBE, was unrepresented by an attorney.
Police Prosecutor Gordon Mansfield objected to Nazim being released on bail, citing the seriousness of the charges.

The Chief Magistrate ruled in the prosecution’s favour and remanded Nazim to jail on the grounds of public safety. The matter was transferred to the Leonora Magistrate’s Court and will be called next on June 26.
