Given the seriousness of the allegations levelled against five of its ranks stationed at Mabaruma, North West District, the Guyana Defence Force has withdrawn the officers from the community and has convened a Board of Inquiry.
“The conduct and professionalism of our ranks are premiere factors in our mission accomplishment. The Force will therefore spare no measure to ensure our ranks uphold our Values and Standards, and maintain the confidence of the communities which we are sworn to serve and defend,” the force said minutes ago.
Over the weekend , the GDF issued a statement saying that five of its ranks were part of an rape investigation.
