Tivoli Gardens more than ‘Dudus’ – Golding

Christopher Coke

PRIME Minister Bruce Golding has described the security forces’ assault on Tivoli Gardens, that has left 73 civilians dead, as representing more than the attempted arrest of former strongman Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke – who remains at large – but rather the beginning of the end for Jamaica’s garrison communities and organised criminal gangs.

Speaking to Parliament this afternoon Golding updated the number of weapons seized in the West Kingston community following the declaration of a State of Emergency in the Corporate Area on Sunday May 23. 47 guns (26 handguns, 21 rifles) and 10,673 rounds of ammunition have now been seized.
