COMMISSIONER of Police Gary Griffith said the defiant stance by businessman Stephen Hadeed towards the law and reopening his business on Monday is simply due to frustration.
Hadeed’s social-media post, “I am opening on Monday, the bank calling me, the finance company calling me! Let them come and close me, I have court clothes!” has generated hundreds of likes, comments and shares.
Responses have been for and against.
“That is frustration. He will not,” Griffith told the Newsday in a WhatsApp response to the statement by Hadeed, whose food service businesses have been shut down for several months as Government tries to get a grip on the spread of covid19 virus.

A date for the opening of a drop-in shelter for the homeless on the ground floor of the Centre for Socially Displaced Persons at the Riverside Plaza car park, Port of Spain, is yet to be established.
However, Port of Spain mayor, Joel Martinez, expects work to begin soon after the Homeless Assistance Office, to be located in the same space, is completed by the NGO’s founder, Anthony Salloum.
