DUDUS 'LINKS' UNDER THREAT - Extradition may cause dissent for dons appointed in other areas
The possible extradition of west Kingston strongman Christopher 'Dudus' Coke may bring war to a number of communities other than his own, THE WEEKEND STAR has found.
Investigations have revealed that some communities in east and central Kingston, St Andrew and Clarendon are 'donned' by thugs who are being backed by persons from west Kingston. These 'chosen leaders' are not fully supported by persons in the area where they live.
When contacted, some division heads chose to be tight-lipped on the issue. However, head of the Criminal Investigation Branch, Assistant Commissioner Les Green, admitted that the police were indeed aware of the situation.
A few months ago, thugs from Jacques Road and Goodridge Lane in Mountain View, east Kingston, were at odds over who should control both communities.
At least two men were killed in that feud which required the intervention of a much more respected don before peace reigned again.
bruck up fi it
Head of the east Kingston police, Superintendent Michael Bailey, then admitted to hearing of cases where a character from west Kingston had sent for men from those communities who were against the 'order'.
"A jus di order eno, instruction send from west (Tivoli Gardens) seh is a certain man fi run di place ... . Some man neva too rate di bredda suh it did cause a likke vibes ... . It sort out now still cause some man all get bruck up fi it," one thug from Jacques Road said. Another from Goodridge Lane added, "Everybody naw go see eye to eye all di while eno, a did jus one a dem ting deh."
In one central Kingston community tension is oftentimes high among thugs as the don is for some reason disliked by many. He remains leader of the community nevertheless as he too was given control of the community by west Kingston personnel.
"Dem seh a him fi run di place eno so even though people from roun ya have it seh a pure eediat ting him gwaan wid dem affi jus work wid di orders eno," one thug from that community said.
A nuff time it look like war ago bruck big time but dem always send word from west seh man and man fi behave demself or else, so di vibes jus level back down," a resident added.
The situation was the same in Clarendon but those thugs and residents have even more reason to keep their thoughts to themselves as west Kingston dons are known to frequent the community.
"People nuh too rate di big man eno but dem cyaa too seh nuttin still cause orders sen seh a him a di man eno ... . Plus di west man dem regular up ya so anybody who violate can get fix easy easy," a resident said.
These scenarios have one thing in common being they are protected by direct orders from west Kingston and actions may just be carried out to unseat them should 'Dudus' be extradited.
violate
Asked what would occur if the don for his community did not have backing from west Kingston, one thug replied "A jus cause nobody nuh waan violate Presi still mek man nuh push out some a dem."
The feeling was pretty much the same for the men and residents of the other communities.
Meanwhile, the police say measures are already in place as they anticipate any possible flare-up of violence.
"We are aware of it and we know of the connections which some of these so-called dons have with west Kingston ... . The police high command already has strategies in place for that," ACP Green said.
The United States of America (USA) has requested that Coke be extradited to that country to face drug charges.
USA authorities are alleging that Coke provided guns to criminals after importing the weapons illegally through a wharf located adjacent to Tivoli Gardens.
It further claims that from at least in or about 1994, members of Coke's organisation have been involved in drug trafficking in New York.
