Attorney-at-law, Darren Wade has filed a High Court application to challenge the arrest and detention of Guyana Police Force constable Ryan Greene and his mother, Nikita Greene, arguing that the authorities have failed to establish sufficient legal basis for holding them on suspicion of conspiracy to commit felony.

The Court action was filed by the Police Constable’s father.

Constable Ryan Green is being accused of collecting a bribe from Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed for a video recording of a shooting incident that took place October 12.

The Police have also alleged that the Constable went on a shopping spree and gave money to his mother.

The application, filed on behalf of Randy Greene who is Ryan Greene’s father and Nikita Greene’s husband stated that neither Ryan Greene nor Nikita Greene had been charged with an offence at this time and he is therefore asking the Court to order their release, declare their detention unlawful and unconstitutional, and award damages.

The Attorney is asking the Court for the duo to be immediately released from custody.

Attorney Wade also made an application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus be directed to the Commissioner of Police and the Officer in Chage of the Criminal Investigations Department, commanding them to have the duo be placed before the Court as soon as possible.

According to Court documents seen by News Source, the applicant contended that the Police have not identified any specific felony that the mother and son are alleged to have conspired to commit and noted that the absence of an identified underlying offence raises serious questions about the legal basis for their detention.

Attorney Wade stated in his filings that the continued detention of the duo without specified charges is in contravention of Article 139 (1) of the constitution.

He argues that the conduct allegedly attributed to Ryan Greene, including the allegations of the copying and transmission of surveillance footage and the alleged receipt of money, does not automatically amount to a criminal offence.

He is also challenging the allegation that Nikita Greene committed an offence merely by allegedly receiving money from her son, stating that the circumstances described do not establish criminal wrongdoing.

Attorney Wade is seeking a declaration from the High Court that the publication by the Guyana Police Force on Monday of the purported admissions of Ryan Greene before any charge was laid is inconsistent with the presumption of innocence and the protection of law secured under Article 144 of the constitution.

Wade is also asking the Court to declare that the arrest and detention of Ryan Greene, upon the allegation that he copied and communicated surveillance footage which records the conduct of members of the Guyana Police Force on October 12, 2026 and which material is pending criminal proceedings contravenes Article 139, 144 and 146 of the constitution.

The Attorney also wants the Court to award ordinary, exemplary and aggravated damages.

The Court has ordered the state to respond to the claims in the application by this evening, and it will hear the matter on Thursday morning.
