Police keep close watch over Gordon

THE TRINIDAD and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) has “intelligence information” relative to the alleged plot to kidnap and kill First Citizens Bank (FCB) chairman, Ken Gordon, acting Commission-er of Police Everald Snaggs told reporters yesterday on the VMCOTT compound.

“I have not spoken to Mr Gordon myself, but I have read reports in the papers.  I know that we have some intelligence information and we are working on it,” Snaggs told the media. The top cop did not want to elaborate on what the intelligence information is, saying: “As you would realise it’s not appropriate, but it’s sensitive and we are working on that information.” Newsday reported yesterday that there was an alleged plot to kidnap and kill Gordon, who in a telephone interview said that “official security people” has told him to be careful and that he is doing just that. A senior police official said police are paying attention to Gordon and that the intelligence information received was not from the Special Branch.

They referred Newsday to FCB.  However, the bank’s communication manager Dara Healy said yesterday her department has not been given any word or directive on it. Snaggs also commented on the disabled people who have been occupying space outside the National Flour Mills (NFM) compound, Wright-son Road, for about 93 days now. He said files on alleged abuse on the workers have been sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Geoffrey Henderson for advice.
