Chinese Landing (Tassawini) Toshao Nikita Miller has appealed for urgent intervention by the authorities after she and several residents were beaten and shot at during a confrontation over the movement of an excavator through village lands.
In video statements shared by the Chinese Landing, Tassawini Village Council, Toshao Miller mentioned that the attack was led by a miner known as “Isaac,” whom she also named as Rylon Adolphus. Miller explained that Adolphus and members of his crew attacked villagers, fired shots and took away her licensed firearm, phones and motorcycles.
“I really, I had to beg for my life just now,” Miller said, recounting the confrontation. “I said, Isaac, please, Isaac, leave me alone.”
Five armed men were involved; they had been previously banned from the area.
According to Miller, the dispute began when residents confronted the men attempting to move heavy equipment through the village. She said villagers escorted the men towards Tassawini Landing and later attempted to bring an excavator they had seized to the village’s mission area.
Miller said that members of the mining crew intercepted residents moving the machine, beat them with pieces of wood, took a phone and regained possession of the excavator.
She said she subsequently travelled by boat to the area and joined three residents, who recovered the machine again. Another confrontation followed, during which she and other villagers were attacked.
Miller said an older male resident was beaten to a state of unconsciousness, while others fled into nearby bushes after shots were fired. She said that approximately 10 shots were fired at residents during the incident.
“When the gunshots start fire, they get afraid and run in the bush.”
Miller explained that the men held her down on the road and took her phone and licensed firearm. She said the firearm was unloaded and denied threatening anyone.
“I had my gun. It was not loaded,” she said. “I didn’t threaten no one.”
She said that the men took a village motorcycle provided through the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission, along with a motorcycle belonging to a resident.
According to Miller, the men eventually left with the excavator, taking it towards Tassawini.
Miller called on the President and relevant authorities to intervene urgently, saying residents feared for their lives and felt they had been left to handle the situation alone.
“We could have lost our life,” she said. “We are calling on the relevant authorities to please look into this situation.”
She also urged government officials to visit the community and see the situation firsthand.
“Now is the time to come and visit Chinese Landing … and to see what is going on,” Miller said.
