Dear Editor,
I do not know Mr. Nazar Mohammed of Mohamed Enterprises personally and what I know of him publicly is that he is a very decent, generous, caring and kind person who has helped thousands of people, especially the poor and children of all races throughout the country. Mr. Nazar Mohamed has also donated financial resources to many non-profit groups that cater to the needs of children, senior citizens and the disabled and he has sponsored many sporting events in the country under the name “Team Mohamed.” As an astute businessman, Nazar Mohamed is one of Guyana’s most known philanthropists with hundreds of thousands of followers on social media. Well known in government circles and in the private sector, Shell Mohamed as he is called is a devoted Muslim and a staunch believer in Allah (the Almighty) who has always supported equality and fair justice for all Guyanese.
However, I was stunned and so were many Guyanese of Sergeant Dion Bascom’s Facebook comments which allegedly implicated Mohamed Enterprises in the murder of Ricardo Fagundes AKA Paper Shorts. It appears to many that the Sergeant was set up by enemies of Mohamed Enterprises to make such false allegations, some of which are baseless and questionable. For example, if a senior police officer received bribe from someone to cover-up the case, how did the sergeant know that the amount of bribe was $30 million. That information is pertinent and should have been disclosed to the public by him. He also gave conflicting comments about the suspects of two persons, one of whom is Rondell Bacchus whom the police had issued a “wanted” bulletin for his arrest. The police have released a video which showed that Bacchus went to the police accompanied by his lawyer but was not charged with the crime. To date, and contrary to the sergeant’s story, no “wanted” bulletin was issued by the police for the other suspect who the sergeant named as Mark Richardson. This was supported by Mr. Rondell Bacchus in a recent video which painted a negative picture of the sergeant.
As humans, we are not perfect, and we all have our flaws and good times and bad times, but Mr. Nazar Mohamed is a true believer in the principle put forth by the ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius; “do unto others as you would like them do unto you.” But it seems as though someone is trying to destroy the good character of this respectable, wonderful, and polite man and damage the reputation of his flourishing and successful business enterprise. It is believed that the sergeant is being used as a pawn to carry out the dirty work of someone else. Some claimed that his comments are untruthful and are not substantiated by facts. In other words, they are made up. Media reports have shown that he has a tattered history of making false accusations to smear the character of others without any serious repercussions, but this will not be the case this time around as he is being sued for millions by a senior police officer and Mohamed Enterprises. And very soon, he will be standing alone when the truth surfaces that he is being used as a pawn by another businessman.
It is believed that there are very few officers who are bent on tarnishing the reputation of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) which we all know is swamped with allegations of police brutality, bribery, corruption, and cover-up of cases. So, his job as a standing officer in the Force should have been to improve the image of the GPF instead of sullying it. His remarks are offensive and dangerous to the entire Force which has more good officers than bad or corrupt ones.
Regards,
Nickel Ross-Albert
