Ja­maat Al Mus­limeen leader Imam Yasin Abu Bakr has is­sued a “warn­ing” to the Gov­ern­ment and the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS), call­ing for jus­tice in T&T.

But in an im­me­di­ate re­sponse, act­ing Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice Mc­Don­ald Ja­cob said the Po­lice Ser­vice stands ready to pro­tect cit­i­zens against any even­tu­al­i­ties.

In a live broad­cast on Face­book, Bakr spoke for over an hour, de­tail­ing what he sees as a num­ber of in­jus­tices to­wards peo­ple of African de­scent.

“In Trinidad, don’t fix the so­ci­ety, don’t give to the poor what is their due, don’t start to be fair and just, don’t let go the pris­on­ers who you lock­ing up for 15 years with­out a tri­al, don’t do that and you will see what will hap­pen- re­mem­ber I warn you to­day,” Bakr said.

He said there would be no more warn­ings is­sued.

“I warn­ing the Gov­ern­ment of Trinidad and To­ba­go, I warn­ing the Po­lice, I warn­ing the Coast Guard, I warn­ing every­body who is in­volved in the re­pres­sion, the op­pres­sion of African peo­ple, I warn­ing you to­day, this is your last day warn­ing,” he said.

He spoke about in­jus­tices to­wards African chil­dren in the Sec­ondary En­trance As­sess­ment (SEA) ex­am­i­na­tions and la­belled their par­ents as “wicked” say­ing the par­ents have al­lowed the in­jus­tice to con­tin­ue.

He al­so spoke about in­jus­tice in the prison sys­tem, say­ing there were men in­car­cer­at­ed for over 15 years with­out a tri­al.

He al­so sent out a warn­ing, say­ing any­one who kills Mus­lims in T&T will not es­cape.

Bakr said he knows how to "stand up" and re­ly on the pow­er of Al­lah for his cause.

Re­spond­ing to Abu Bakr's speech, which has been mak­ing the rounds on so­cial me­dia, the Act­ing Com­mis­sion­er says the po­lice ser­vice con­tin­ues to mon­i­tor in­tel­li­gence and will act ac­cord­ing­ly. Act­ing Com­mis­sion­er Ja­cob says, "there are much more re­sources avail­able to the var­i­ous law en­force­ment agen­cies now than in 1990."

Ja­cob goes on to urge cit­i­zens to con­tin­ue ad­her­ing to the pub­lic health reg­u­la­tions re­mind­ing them that COVID-19 is the on­ly en­e­my.
