so sad that police still takes advantage of ppl an gets away with it so sad that in 2009 going to 10 this stuff still happens in our little country s
Ouch. And we wonder why some people walk around with a chip on their shoulder.
I agree with you on the police part. But just because he married a St lucians does not give him the right to say.
I bet you that they would not be treating this guy so if he was american/canadian/british. *SMH* The double standards that are implemented in this island.
It would be very interesting to know what is this guy's profession?
I believe this might have a lot to do with how the police are acting. I sense a bit of hostility towards him by the police, and it may well be because the police see this married as one of mere convenience to a man who really has nothing he can offer St. Lucia, and should really be back in his country.
I agree with the above comment, I am sure he wouldn't be treated so harshly, a foreign can even possess drugs and buy their way out of it as has happened recently. I think this is a real infringement of human rights, especially as there has been no attempt to evade his responsibilities to ensure he was lodged with immigration. This again demonstrates how corrupt all systems appear to be n the island.
I prefer if I had not read this article because I am so sick to my stomach. If it been a blue eye white man married to a S.Lcian I "guarantee" you this would not happen. Some of us are nothing but cotton pickers and will forever remain slaves.
The police department is not a trained entity on human rights, period.
In fact, the government of St Lucia knows very little about human rights, law, honesty, tolerance and most of all truth.
With so many critical issues plaguing St Lucia at this moment with “Mother Helen” on a collision course with complete annihilation , the police and immigration spent the taxpayer’s resources in prosecuting and housing a African national for a few days overstay?
I am aware that no one is above the law (except if you are a lawyer, in the government or both) but this is overkill. The things St Lucia places importance on is hardly worth the effort and expense to justify the means. On the other hand the government has always ignored all the corruption etc etc.
There is so much that is wrong and needs absolute and immediate resolution by the government, it saddens me to think of how anyone can confidently return home to contribute all that they are to their birthplace when “Mother Helen” appear so primitive unlike her glorious past.
The honest few in the government should put the remainder, corrupt lawyers, politicians, judges and vicious criminals in jail instead. It will definitely be a step in the right direction.
Let those who are honest citizens be the judge of all who are guilty and let them be tried on national television for treason for the world to see and then throw away the key.
St Lucia needs such a gigantic overhaul for positive change to rescue “Mother Helen” that this kind of action is beyond the comprehension of those who have and currently govern her and many of her unscrupulous citizens.

THE MAN MARRIED A ST LUCIAN. HE EXTENDED HIS STAY IN THE RIGHT WAY AND HE WAS ARRESTED.BUT THE COUNTRY IS FULL OF ILLEGAL FOREIGNERS ESPECIALLY THE GUYANESE ALL OVER CASTRIES, DOING WHAT THEY WANT WITH OVER DEAD FAMILY INDENTITY AND NOTHING FOR THAT. WHAT IS GOING WITH THE LAWMAKERS IN ST LUCIA?
Those illegal Guyanese thieves need to be back in their country.
Those illegal Guyanese thieves need to be back in their country.
In the first place, how did this guy end up in St Lucia? What did he do in his country and eacaped?
this situation bears watching.if it happens again TO ANOTHER AFRICAN then we know that the matter is maliciously motivated especially if the African visitor is within the St.Lucian laws.
let me warn St.Lucians:We do not have a good reputation in the international scene.Be careful the enemies you make.Take what is happening to the United states as an example,a nation that has burnt most of its bridges behind it and is beginning to pay a heavy price politically and economically for making international enemies.
further to the above comment.It is understood that this applies to people who visit our shores comply with the laws be they African or otherwise.It is in this vein that the above comment is made.
St.lucia should not be afraid to detain ,export,deport anyone from any country who comes in and violates our laws.If we act with foreigners within our laws then whether we make enemies or not is largely irrelevant.
However if we PERSECUTE legitimate visitors then don't be surprised if we are treated the same way when we visit other shores.
FURTHER PLEASE BEAR IN MIND the commandment that says:Honour your father and your mother THAT YOUR DAYS MAY BE LONG IN THE LAND THAT THE ALMIGHTY GIVES YOU.
Whether we like it or not, AFRICA is our ANCESTRAL HOMELAND, and as such the principle underlying the above commandment applies to us.Let us therefore give respect where respect is due and honour your African ancestors and the role of Africa as our Mother and father,so that our days my be long in this land or whatever land we eventually end up in.
Personally,if that African could have contributed anything to our society he would have been able to make his payments timely. so what we have him in st.lucia for? aye, send him back to zamoonda to play with the lions and giraffes. shit!! you don't see st.lucians trying to migrate to africa!And on some profiling shit- that marriage seems fake to me; who would marry a young ugly girl? plus that african looks like a pedifile to me!! Lucia wake up
^ LOL
I think that some of the people who commented above should put aside their speculations as to the character of the man and the nature of the couple's relationship, as making such speculations is rather ignorant, due to the lack of information at hand.
I disagree with the writer above who claims that the girl is ugly, she is beautiful in her entirety and its very shallow to voice such an opinion when this is not even the issue at hand.
The focus of this article,is not on how worthy the couple appear to be, but on the illegality of the actions of the ploice, which has resulted in a gross breach of Bangoura's Human Rights.
Equality in the application of the law should be maintained irrespective of one's social class, position in society and origin. Therefore, the police had no right to criminalise a civil breach of the law.
In the UK a person suspected of being involved in TERRORISM can only be detained for an absolute maximum of 28 days without charge. It is therefore extremely concerning that Bangoura has been detained for now over 41 days without being charged, on the basis of him overstaying. This is pure MADNESS!!!
I send my best wishes with the couple and I pray that this is all resolved rather quickly.
But St Lucia needs to reform its constitution in this area or atleast make it clear cut.

ALL I COULD FIGURE OUT WAS THAT...THE CARRIBEANS ESPECIALLY THIS SO CALLED ST LUCIA HAS A POOR HUMAN RIGHT OFFER AND THEY RE STILL SLAVES.IF ITS TO BE A WHITE MAN OVERSTAYING FOR YEARS,YOU CANT JUST DO A DAMN THING AND WHEREAS THIS YOUNG MAN IS MARRIED TO THE CITIZEN,EVEN IF THE MARRIAGE IS FAKE OR ORIGINAL,THATS NON OF YOUR BUSINESS,THATS THE DECISION OF THE COUPLES.NOT ANYONES BUSINESS.I THINK YOU HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO BE FARE IN THIS YOU SO CALLED DEVILS ISLAND WHERE YOU HAVE NO RESOURCES,ALL YOU CAN ONLY DO IS TO SUFFER YOUR SOUL MATES..THIS MAN NEEDS FREEDOM,SO MANY ST LUCIA CITIZEN IN UK.WHOM HAS OVER STAYED FOR 6 MONTHS OR 1 YEAR BEFORE THEY GOT MARRIED BUT STILL THERE HAS BEEN CONSIDERATIONS FOR THEM NOT TO JAIL THEM FOR 41DAYS DOING NOTHING..HIS NOT A TERRORIST HIS JUST A SURVIVOR LIKE YOU BLACK MONKIES THERE,IF YOU GUYZ ALSO TRAVEL TO ANOTHER COUNTRY,YOU NEED TO SURVIVE NOT TO BE JAILED COS OF MERE DOCUMENTS.AND WHEN THEY RE TALKING OF REAL USEFUL DOCUMENTS..ST LUCIA IS EXCLUDED..YOU PEOPLE NEEDS TO GROW AND STOP TO BE SLAVE ANYMORE..YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR FELLOW BLACKS THAN EVEN A WHITE MAN..BUT I SEE YOU RE CREATED TO BE SLAVES SO I THINK YOU MAY ALL END TO BE SLAVES COS YOU DONT WANT TO STAND UP,,JST LIKE THE WAY BOB MARLEY SAID..YOUR GOVERNMENT IS SO STUPID,ALL THE POLICE OFFICES THERE ARE MONKIES AND YOU CITIZEN SAYING RUBBISH INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING THE RIGHT LAW ARE APES COS YOU ALL LIVE IN THE JUNGLE.YOU NEED TO CHANGE UR MENTALITY..AND ALLOW FREEDOM.

As for the person that says i am ugly please don`t hold me accountable for the way god made me.Which i am proud of? Please you don`t have nothing to say to me if you have something against me that is not the place to express it.As for the others thanks for your support i really appreciate it and as for everybody i love this man indeed.I have other kids and this man has been so nice to them.We spend a great time together and we do praise together.We are indeed one by love and by god because we are both god`s children and we believe that we belong together and no one cant change that. We talk about the social problem of single parent and he has joined together with me to raise a child that`s not his and by sending him a way what does that depict the future of our and my child.We are are one and it is not right for anyone to separate because as it is said what god makes one no one can part.My marriage is not fake and tell me what is fake,who would marry a young girl anyone. My mother got married at a young age to a British man why cant i marry an African man even better a child of my ancestry country.We need to wake up and stop being prejudice against our own people that is why the white man would always step on us and that is why we would always be slaves.
As for those who are interested in giving me some advice or any kind of help i could be contacted at this number 17587120371.Please number to be used by those who are willing to give a helping hand, a word of prayer or good advice.
let me tell u something about men, nicole, especially african me; they can be extremely manipulative. so u should be careful that he is not using u. maybe God was helping u and u dont realize it because of the immediate gratification u get from him. open yr eyes my girl, yr children, yr responsibility, dont ever rely on another man for help, especially someone who is not the children's father. struggle, and trust that all will be ok. get off ya butt n start making some moves for yr kids sake.
this is why the public will always be against those institutions which is supposed to be doing their jobs to the best of their abilities and not be biased. This is definitely a case of prejudice because he is from africa, If he was a white foreigner this case would be different. Slave minded mentalities. Corruption another word to describe immigration,police customs and the likes.
Thanks to everyone who commented.Well we are leaving fine and happily.We just had a beautiful baby called grace.Imagine I am now employed with the police force about a year now.For the lady who spoke about African men are deceiving,We have it everywhere no one perfect.
