Cornell Benjamin, who sustained gun wounds to his leg, is reportedly attached to the customs department responsible for under-evaluation, false invoicing and smuggling.

The shooting incident took place on Sunday at Cassada Gardens around 9:30pm.

According to police reports, Benjamin was inspecting his property after hearing his dogs barking incessantly. In the process, he saw two men lunging at him from the brushes while firing shots.

Benjamin was shot in his leg at least five times and was rushed to Mount St. Johns Medical Center, where doctors reported that his condition is stable and his injury is non-life threatening.

Police further reported that there is no known motive behind this incident; however, they will continue their investigations along with customs authorities.

  1. The same customs officer charged with investigating under invoicing, smuggling and under evaluation is shot 5 times mere hours after the minister of finance announced that a particular broker and his client defrauded the customs of over 3 million dollars in revenue –

    the police further reported that there is no known motive behind this incident..

    i think some guys were out hunting deer at 9 pm for a barbeque this weekend and the customs officer’s foot somehow got between the hunters and the deer…

Yr PM mouth too big & careless. He try everyone on his RADIO STATION. POINTLESS FM.

  5. Find creative ways to enrich yourself. When this sentiment was expressed that was the day Antigua and Barbuda accelerated it’s slide into the chaos we are now in. From the curse of the ABLP o lord deliver us

  6. The Jamaica, Haiti, and Dominican influences in Antigua are turning this country into a war zone. When are people going to wake up and demand a change in immigration policy? As long as we continue to allow for CARICOM immigration, we will have these crime problems in Antigua.
