THE police high command is again urging Tivoli Gardens don Christopher 'Dudus' Coke to turn himself in to the police, calling his actions of barricading Tivoli and using women and children as his defenders “cowardly and selfish”.
“The barricading of communities in the manner currently being observed in Tivoli Gardens and Denham Town to prevent the security forces from entering to a execute Coke's warrant of arrest is most unusual and is a clear indication that elements within the community believe they can operate outside the ambit of the law,” the police said in a news release this morning.
“The security forces wish to make it very clear that they view the barricading as an act of cowardice on the part of selfish criminal elements, mainly Mr Coke. These criminals are not to be confused with the decent law abiding citizens of Tivoli Gardens who want to get on with their lives as free citizens in a peaceful community and country.”
The police said that by barricading the community, criminal elements are putting the safety and well-being of citizens including women, children and the elderly at risk.
“Residents are denied freedom to move about while supporting agencies are prevented from responding to citizens’ call for help,” the police said.
“The police are publicly calling on Christopher Coke otherwise called ‘Dudus’, ‘Short Man’, and ‘President’ to hand himself over to the nearest police station for the warrant of arrest to be executed," the release said
