A Nigerian man along with a policeman, were rushed to the
Georgetown Public Hospital in a critical condition after he
tried to assassinate the President of Guyana Irfaan Ali.


The Guyana Police Force on Thursday, December 15, said a
request has been dispatched to the International Criminal
Police Organisation (INTERPOL) for more information on the
Nigerian man, identified as Bethel Ikenna Chimezie, who
staged a daring knife and gun attack on the Presidential
Guards at the Guyana State House that resulted in him being
shot and injured.


Thirty-five-year-old Chimezie was reported to have
undergone a series of surgeries for gunshot injures to his
head, torso and leg that were inflicted when Presidential
Guards opened fire on him.


“The GPF has requested via INTERPOL a comprehensive
background check on him; also whether he has any criminal
history or whether he is linked to any criminal group,” a
senior police officer told Demerara Waves Online News.
Earlier, police said that at about 7:30 am, the man entered
State House’s south-eastern guard room and demanded to
see the President.


He allegedly whipped out a knife and stabbed a policeman
several times to his neck and other areas of his body.
Police said Chimezie also snatched a pistol from a
Presidential Guard, ran out of the guard room on to
Carmichael Street and fired several shots. Police said a
9MM pistol and seven 9MM spent shells were retrieved.
