More than three years after he was removed from office, James Singh has returned as the Head of the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit (CANU).
Stabroek News was reliably informed that Singh was recalled to the post effective from yesterday by the Ministry of Home Affairs, which is responsible for the agency.
In June 2017, Singh was officially notified of his removal from the post which had resulted from recommendations made by former President David Granger as well as a Commission of Inquiry (COI) conducted into the unit’s role in the interception and subsequent release of a cocaine-laden vessel.
