The act was claimed by the gang group of Village de Dieu headed by ”Izo 5 Segonn”. Two minibuses traveling between Port-au-Prince and Miragoâne, each carrying 18 passengers, were intercepted this Friday, June 10, 2022, by the bandits operating at the southern entrance of the capital. The information was confirmed by the trade unionist Changeux Méhu.
The kingpin shared a video on social networks where he indexes and challenges the Government Commissioner of Miragoâne Jean Ernest Muscadin, who confessed to having recently executed the alleged criminal Elvain Saint-Jacques alias “Zo Pwason”, presented as one of the soldiers of the Izo gang.
The Government Commissioner of Miragoâne, Jean Ernest Muscadin had declared that he wanted to make Nippes “a cemetery for bandits”. His decision raised the indignation of some human rights organizations and civil society actors, denouncing an authoritarian approach devoid of humanism and legality. The FJKL even called for compensation for the victim’s relatives.
