Elderly overseas-based Guyanese shot, robbed

…shortly after touching down in Guyana  
A British-based octogenarian got a rude welcome to Guyana when he was ambushed, shot and robbed by bandits shortly after arriving outside his sister’s home from the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, (CJIA) Timehri.
Glendon Codogan, 83, is presently in a stable condition in the Intensive Care Unit of a city hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery yesterday morning to treat gunshot wounds.
The incident occurred around 09:30 hours at Shirley Field-Ridley Square, Guyhoc Gardens.

Police say their investigations revealed that Cadogan had travelled from the CJIA and was confronted by three men, one of whom was armed with a firearm, who drove up in a motor vehicle as he was entering his sister’s yard. The men held him up and demanded a bag that he had in his possession.

The elderly man resisted and was shot to his abdomen and left arm by the perpetrators, who subsequently escaped with the bag.
Police say a woman has been arrested and is assisting with the investigations.

Kaieteur News understands that the detained woman is Codogan’s 42-year-old female acquaintance, who had accompanied him from the airport.
Reliable sources informed this newspaper that Codogan had arranged with the woman to meet him at the airport upon his arrival in Guyana yesterday for a brief stay.

This newspaper was told that Codogan, who previously visited Guyana late last year, returned home to complete arrangements for a house he had purchased at Eccles on the East Bank of Demerara.
The couple hired a taxi from the airport and travelled to the city, where Codogan planned to spend his days at his sister Gloria David’s house.
David said that she did not see the actual shooting, she was alerted by a neighbour’s screams.

“I was expecting him and when the taxi drove up I opened the door to go out and greet him as per normal whenever he comes…but I turned back and go inside to get something for the neighbour. By the time I taking out the thing, I hear bow, bow, bow!” she said.
David said she immediately recognized the sound to be gunshots, but she never thought that it was associated with her overseas guest.
She said she then heard her neighbour shouting “Gloria, Gloria, don’t come out!”

“I start screaming and say ‘Oh Jesus, is me brother get shoot’.”
Eventually David peered outside and saw her brother standing and clutching his abdomen.
“He’s eighty-three but my brother is strong,” David said.
She said she saw the driver of the car that brought her brother standing transfixed, while Codogan’s female friend was crouching on the ground, screaming.

David said that the incident occurred so quickly that she did not see her brother’s assailants.
She believes that she was lucky that she had to turn back and go into the house.

“When I opened that door first, if I had gone out there, I would have been shot,” she stated.
The badly bleeding Codogan was eventually rushed to the hospital where he was immediately admitted.
“He troubles with his heart and he had on the heart thing (pacemaker) around him and maybe that is what stopped the bullet from penetrating,” David told this newspaper.
It was reported that Codogan also sustained some stab wounds during the attack.

“My neighbour said she saw when one of the men had the gun up in the air and it look like if he was punching with the other hand, but was stab he was stabbing him. His hands got a lot of stitches. Like they did not want to shoot, so they were stabbing him trying to cut the bag from him,” David explained.

The incident has left her in a state of shock, especially since it happened outside her house.
“This never happened here. You know how many people come and stay here from overseas and it never, never happened. But this thing like it was a set-up, because they (bandits) knew the direct time,” David stated, adding that she had received information that a strange black car was seen in the area shortly before the robbery.

The problem is that Redux never add anything to any discussion. After all, this is a discussion board and any discussion even if it does not meet academia standard is still discussion. All Redux do is talk about peoples' body parts. His obscene obsession got to the point where Amral who has shown that he can be extremely tolerant had enough of him.

Crime in Guyana did not begin last year. It has been a problem for a very long time. I had already decided long before last May that I have no business setting foot in Guyana. That is still my position. My family's and my safety are too important to me.

By this token, is the ones taking place now the current government inspired incidents? What about the one that took place right next door to Ramjatan's residence not so long ago?

That depends on what you spray when you sneeze bai.

Any of you guys saw the tv show disappeared  last night. I was watching it on the discovery channel on satellite. It featured a Guyanese Aunt and Nephew from Florida named  Lall. They were Macaw breeders that disappeared without a trace in Florida.

The crime situation in Guyana is definitely something to pay attention to, especially if you're  coming in from the outside. You have to be on your game. be alert and watchful. Go about your business like usual and don't fear dominate your mind.

Law enforcements in America always bring up cold cases in a hope of solving them. It took Los Angeles investigators 36 years to find the man responsible for killing a young couple before killing two police officers. That person was found all the way in South Carolina living a really good life.

Right now, I have no business being in Guyana. My last visit was in 1998.

"The bags contained passports, cash in US currency and other valuables. The suitcases contained clothes, personal effects and gifts for the impoverished in Corentyne. Despite all the complaints at the stadium when the items were discovered missing, without any satisfaction, we decided to report the matter to your newspapers at your Georgetown office after leaving the stadium to have a “reward” advertisement be placed,only to discover that a senior government official was there. When we described to him what happened and shared our suspicion on who could be considered the culprits with the hope that he would have rendered valuable and helpful intervention, he did not."

My guess is that the snake penned it himself. And given that he never went back to Guyana after he left, your instincts may be spot on.

I don't know any country in the world where one would go to a stadium with a car filled with bags and valuables.  Leaving cash in a car!

Guyana is not your typical country and Guyanese are not your typical people.

Under the PNC/AFC Guyana has become crime infested once again.  The type of things happening now harp back to the days of the first PNC regime!  I have a belief the PNC could do better but don't want to.  This crime wave targeting [mostly] Indians is just one arm of a strategic plan to rid Guyana of Indians!

Banna you is a wierd fella,making up all sort of stories.

Mithwah, like you ain't grow out of short pants yet to understand what's a gentleman's club vs pimping is. BTW, I was just testing the water on the investor's madness in New York. I don't want to see what happened in Canada repeat itself in NY. I would like to see the economy take shape, but is seem like the bling is leading the blind, and your attitude only make your business leaders extra incompetent to convinced any serious minded person to invest their hard earned money in a country that lack basic security. Jubilee is over and crime is still spiraling out of control. You ought to be serious and stop blaming the PPP for Granger's mistakes. When someone admit his/her mistake, it's a start in the right direction. You of all people should know that. Ignore and don't heed to good advise and you shall doom. Read what's happening to NA hospital. It's going under.

The story sounds fishy. Why would visitors take their baggage around with them unless they are on their way from or to the airport. Possibly they couldn't trust their own relatives from rifling through their belongings so they took it with them everywhere they went? Or maybe they were in transition from one home to another visiting family.
