At 16:00hrs yesterday (16th July 2025), a 29-year-old female sales representative and a resident of McDoom, East Bank Demerara, went to the East La Penitence Police Station and reported that on July 14, 2025, she was beaten and assaulted by 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐬𝐨𝐧, aka ‘𝐃𝐨𝐠𝐠𝐲’.
The woman told the police that she was employed by 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐲 ‘𝐃𝐨𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐞’ 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐬𝐨𝐧, a key organiser in the political party led by 𝐀𝐳𝐫𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝, namely, We Invest in Nationhood (WIN), to perform certain tasks on Nomination Day for the said WIN party, and in return thereof, Sampson promised to pay her $50,000.
At about 11:00 hrs on 15th July 2025, the woman went to the Square of the Revolution (Cuffy Square), Vlissengen Road, Georgetown, to uplift the payment from Sampson. However, Sampson only paid her $10,000.
As a consequence, an argument erupted during which Sampson dealt her several kicks and cuffs about her body and lashed her with a gun to her head, causing her to receive multiple injuries. The woman informed the police that most of the incident was captured on video and shared widely on social media.
She stated that Sampson later called her via Facebook Messenger and requested for her to meet him at Azruddin Mohamed’s house at Green Field, East Bank Demerara. As requested, that afternoon, she met with Mohamed, Sampson, and other persons at the said location.
The woman informed the police that:
(i) She was detained against her will at the premises by several armed security guards in excess of an hour;
(ii) Azruddin Mohamed shouted at her angrily when he learnt that the video of the incident with Sampson was already on Facebook;
(iii) Bradley Sampson was present while all of this was taking place;
(iv) Azruddin Mohamed instructed her not to pursue the matter against Sampson, to accompany Sampson to the Police Station, and to inform the Police that she is withdrawing all complaints against Sampson; and in consideration thereof, he will pay to her five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000);
(v) one of the guards at the premises said to her, ‘Don’t feel I don’t know you living in McDoom.’ He then raised his jersey and showed her a black handgun that was tucked in his waist. This resulted in her being fearful for her life. Eventually, she was permitted to leave the premises. However, between 7:45 and 9:00 hours on 16th July, 2025, Doggy called her multiple times on her cellphone, asking her not to pursue the matter, but she refused to do so.
The woman made a report to the Police at East La Penitance Police Station. She was subsequently examined by a doctor regarding the injuries received, and a Medical Certificate was duly issued.
As a result of the foregoing, a wanted bulletin was issued by the police for Bradley ‘Doggy’ Sampson. The police considered the allegations which have been made against Mr. Azruddin Mohamed and his security guards to be of a serious nature and may involve the commission of several serious criminal offences, including attempting to pervert the course of justice.
As a result, and in compliance with the police’s lawful duties under the Police Act and other relevant legislation, the police attempted to contact Mr. Mohamed last night at the said premises for the purpose of investigating the grave allegations made against him. Additionally, the police had video evidence that Sampson was at the said premises.
At 10:20 hrs today (17th July 2025), Mr. Azruddin turned himself in at the Ruimveldt Police Station, in the company of his attorney-at-law and is currently assisting the police with the ongoing investigations.
