Not advocating for this dude, but how the police even attain a search warrant in the first place, what’s the back story here?
More context needed if you’re just gonna drop this kind of news on the public.
And if news reporters are going to ask the police public relations officer questions, can they ask more pertinent questions please! We need more depth with these stories.. c’mon ANR.
Wow. Never expected this from Akini. Sad to see.
Mi cya believe it. Akini? With gun and ammo? Something not adding up.
Dem young man too caught up in hype. Now look.
Another one gone down the wrong road. Smh.
Me shock. Akini was doing good last time mi see um.
Just another statistic now. Sad state of affairs.
Don’t act like is only Akini — plenty more out dey doing worse.
YOU need to contact the police with the names of the “plenty more” that YOU referred to.
Police finally doing dem job. These illegal firearms a get outta hand.
One charge and everybody done crucify di man. Wait pan di facts.
Me like dis. People been waiting years just to get dey case heard.
Comment *It must be really hard in Antigua to obtain a legal firearm. In the US anyone can walk in a store and buy a gun. In ANU man mussss go through a rigmaole
For every one illegal firearm you get off the street, the streets are one family safer. Continue the good job
another gun off the streets. we collecting more now than when there was an amnesty
Wow please chase that weapon we need to know Fabrique National. 7.62 ammunition are ban by the United Nation serial number series is interested get to the bottom
Suppose that’s one of the ‘hot ones’? The police would’ve had to give it back to him and let him ‘dispose of it the way he sees fit, so if he shoot anybody or kill anybody, we don’t want those ‘.
the one that BOWEN used to shoot Tessa was a hot one? U seem to know a lot.
