According to Guyana police, on December 15, a Nigerian national turned up at President Ali’s official residence at about 7:30 am, confronted the security detail, and demanded to see the President.
The man became agitated, pulled out a knife, and stabbed an officer.
He later disarmed a female guard and discharged several rounds.
Other officers returned fire, injuring the assailant.
The attacker and the wounded Presidential Guard were hospitalised, and the matter is currently under investigation.
