Chief James Singh Faces Credible Death Threat Amid Major Drug Crackdown
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐๐ โ
In a tense battle against powerful international drug cartels, James Singh, Head of the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU), is confronting credible death threats even as his agency delivers some of its most significant drug busts of the year.
So far in 2025, CANU agents have confiscated 112 kilograms of co***ne and a staggering 1,500 kilograms of ma*****na, effectively stripping traffickers of millions of dollars in illicit profits.
โ๏ธ The Face of Defiance
Mr. Singh, known for his steely resolve, confirmed that the threats to his life โ first reported in August โ remain active and serious.
> โThey would be the ones who have a vested interest in intimidating us, as they normally do, to allow the drugs to move freely,โ Singh told reporters, underscoring the high-risk nature of his mission.
International intelligence agencies have corroborated the threat, helping Singhโs security team identify both the source and the criminal network allegedly responsible.
When pressed on whether the threats were personal, Singh responded bluntly:
> โThey were directed to me.โ
๐ A Country Under Siege
Guyanaโs geography continues to make it a prime transshipment point for narcotics moving from South America to North America and Europe.
Singh explained that large quantities of drugs enter Guyana from Venezuela, feeding the operations of criminal organizations desperate to maintain control.
> โIn this field, there is always a threat. This one was more pronounced,โ Singh admitted.
Despite the personal danger, Singh and his team remain undeterred. Enhanced security protocols are now in place for CANU officials, and international law enforcement agencies have intensified surveillance on the groups believed to be behind the threats.
๐ฅ Relentless Pursuit of Justice
In a global drug trade worth billions, James Singh stands as one of the few men between the cartels and their profits.
His defiance sends a clear message โ Guyana is not backing down.
One massive seizure at a time, CANU is reshaping the countryโs fight against narco-trafficking โ even if that fight now comes with life-threatening stakes.
