Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force Addresses Matter Involving
Member Accused of Criminal Offence
The Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force (ABDF) confirms that one of its members is currently under investigation in connection with a criminal offence involving an illegal substance.
In keeping with its obligations under the Defence Act, 2006, and guided by the principles of due process, the ABDF initiated internal proceedings to address the matter in accordance with established military protocols.
However, it was determined that the case would proceed under civilian jurisdiction.
The ABDF assures the public that it is working in full collaboration with the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda to ensure that justice is served.
This joint approach reflects our unwavering commitment to transparency, accountability, and the rule of law.
The ABDF remains steadfast in its responsibility to uphold the highest standards of discipline and integrity.
We recognize the importance of maintaining public trust and national security, and we will continue to cooperate fully with all relevant authorities in this matter.

Why does the headline say lawyer when the statement from the ABDF does not mention any lawyer?
In my hometown in Lagos Nigeria we say there is less crime when the police is not arou d.
Things done under the cover of secrecy and deception shall always show its face eventually. Of course this will be swept under the rug and wiped away because of Defense Force right?
ANR…..A FEMALE DEFENCE FORCE LAWYER ???? You seem so anxious to reveal her identity, why not stop choking yourself and just reveal her name.? Sickening!
WHAT THE HELL…! …SENATIONALISM: …FEMALE DEFENCE FORCE LAWYER’ OR ‘…MEMBER…?
QUESTIONS:
Though unlikely: ‘…What if allegations were made against:
(a) ‘…THE BRIGADIER:
(b) …A COLONEL:
(c) …A MAJOR: or

***
(ii) WHATEVER THE RANK STATUS, WOULD HE/SHE NOT BE CALLED ‘…AN ABDF MEMBER?’
***
INNOCENT
Constitutionally, the ‘…ACCUSED FEMALE MEMBER IS INNOCENT.’

IN CRIMINAL TRIALS, THE ONUS HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON THOSE WHO ASSERT.

I see alot of narcotic peddlers using business to wash money, truck businesses, car rentals having fetes and so on. Yall getting smart but some of you careless smh
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Something is wrong.
Members of ABDF are not above the law.
They deal with disciplinary matter in house.
They cannot and I mean cannot investigate criminal matters.
When a matter of a criminal nature occurs under their watch they are duty bound to report it to the police for investigations.
They cannot deal with a crimnal matters via the discipline route.
The young men in Grays Farm should be highly peeved.
They do not have the protection of the army.
They are hauled before the court for anything in excess of 14 grams which is not enough for a “fat man”.
No.
Well that person is only one caught of many. Whole ton of them handling drugs. This is just an unfortunate one so what they need to do is press this person until the others are revealed
How can a matter like they even be thought of dealing internally. Should have been probes as a criminal offence from the start irrespective of who commits it
This is not a first. Honestly, many of these Defence Force guys are black lipped-red eye red-eye-looking dudes who are always look high off something. Most of them hardly made it past high school and automatically became a Defence Force or police officer. Mi Did Never see worse.
Can anyone please tell me what this article is about? Please

Rather shocking shock information was even release. I guess they are beginning to change. Haha. We will see now that real corruption comes from the law enforcers and crew
You transparent yet you nah tell arwe wa you ketch he wid, how you ketch he an who much hi min hab

All of this point to the fact that we have a ways to go to root out corruption in our midst. This is a step in the right direction. A reminder that this person is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law and not the other way around.
