The final night of the Lethem rodeo was cancelled last evening over security concerns.
This was confirmed by Chairman of the Upper Takutu/Upper Essequibo region, Clarindo Lucas, who told Stabroek News by telephone that the decision had been made following “a disclosure of a programme to have some kind of action here by the bandits”. He said that because of this, in the interest of spectator safety, the rodeo committee decided to cancel the remaining events.
