One day after President Irfaan Ali announced that his Government is in receipt of intelligence of an online conspiracy to create attacks in the country, the Guyana Police Force through its Criminal Investigations Department swooped down on the home of Opposition Member of Parliament for the WIN party, Natasha Singh to carry out searches.

The investigating officers showed up at the home of the female muslim Member of Parliament just as she was completing evening prayers on Friday and presented a search warrant that indicated that they needed to search her home, yard and vehicles for computer systems and possible recording devices as part of an investigation linked to terrorism. The officers did not offer any detail of the investigations.

Singh went live on social media as she allowed the Police Officers access to her Herstelling home to carry out their searches.

“This is too much, this is the muslim President accusing a female muslim MP of being involved in terrorism”, Singh said as the officers carried out their search of her home.

A number of Police Officers could be seen entering the home of the Opposition Member of Parliament and searching several areas, including her living room, bedrooms, kitchen and work areas. The Officers collected and seized a number of laptops, flash drives and audio recorders owned by the Opposition Member of Parliament.

While the search was ongoing, Opposition Member of Parliament for the APNU, Ganesh Mahipaul showed up at the home of his fellow Opposition MP to assist her in overlooking the search operation.

The livestream of the Police search operation at one stage racked up more than 3000 live viewers.

President Irfaan Ali at a press conference this afternoon told reporters that the Police were progressing with their investigation of the reported threats against the country, including against private and public property. He has still not provided any details of those threats.
