At 10 this morning, Justice of Appeal Rishi Persaud, who is currently performing the duties of Chief Justice, will hear a habeas corpus application filed by District Four Returning Officer Clairmont Mingo who is requesting his immediate release from police custody.
The sixty-nine-year-old Mingo was arrested at his Little Abary, Mahaicony home on Tuesday as part of the police’s ongoing probe against him for alleged electoral fraud surrounding the March 2nd General and Regional elections.
Mingo is one of two named defendants in charges filed on March 13th by Charles Ramson Jr. in relation to the controversial results for District Four.
