Searches at all ports throughout the country will continue in keeping with the Cus-toms Anti-Narcotic Unit’s (CANU) mandate in an effort to curb the occurrence of trafficking in narcotics, the agency’s Legal Officer Konyo Sandiford says.
Sandiford, in a statement issued last evening, was at the time responding to questions raised by members of the media with regards to the recent concerns by passengers who claimed they were subjected to cavity searches by CANU officers.
“Law enforcement operatives at all ports in Guyana have been and will continue to conduct their searches of passengers, luggage, vehicles etc. at all ports of entry and exit in Guyana lawfully and in accordance with local and international standards with due cordiality and professionalism,” the statement said.
