KIM Ali, a 59-year-old woman of Diamond, East Bank Demerara, is in police custody after making alleged death threats against President, Dr. Irfaan Ali in a now-viral video.

The Guyana Chronicle understands that the incident occurred at the Diamond Market Tarmac in the presence of vendors, on Sunday.

According to reports, Kim used racial slurs and made derogatory remarks against the man who videoed the purported threats.

The video has attracted a lot of attention on social media, with over 2,000 views on Tik Tok alone.

In the video, Kim said: “The President needs to be assassinated.” These words have been taken very seriously and have resulted in the woman being taken into custody at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) headquarters.

This incident has sparked conversations, and many have spoken out against her actions, noting that it is unacceptable and cannot be condoned.
This is not the first time such threats have been made.

In June 2022, amidst protest actions calling for justice for Quindon Bacchus who was purportedly killed by a police officer, one of the protestors was filmed threatening to harm the President.
Further, in December 2022, a Nigerian national stormed State House, which is the official residence of the President and his family, and attempted to murder a Presidential Guard, while discharging a loaded firearm during the brazen attack.

Bethel Ikena Chimezie is currently on remand for the crime.
