Guyanese woman of many aliases back in Barbados

IN OCTOBER last year, a Guyanese woman saying she was Angela Allen, also known as Angela Brown, appeared before the Magistrate’s Court in Bridgetown.
She was ordered deported back to Guyana for returning to the island three times, each time with a different name, after being sent out of the island.
It was a sad, well publicized case in which Allen or Brown, or whatever her name is, jumped into the capital’s Constitution River to try and evade capture by Barbados Immigration officers.
Now, according to a report in the Barbados Saturday Sun newspaper, she is back once again.
Barbados police do not know how she got through the increased scrutiny of the island’s Immigration Department during the Cricket World Cup period and how she was given a 28 day stay. Normally, when a person is deported, as opposed to being asked to leave, that person may not re-enter the island.
A Barbados police source is quoted as saying that despite the matter being raised in District A Magistrate’s court in Bridgetown, she cannot be detained as yet because no charge has been brought against her.
She would have to be brought to court for flouting a deportation order and presumably having a false passport.
When she was before the court in October, the Guyanese national was told by Magistrate Christopher Birch: “Go back to Guyana. I hope we don’t see you again.”
Back then, Angela Brown, Angela Allen or whatever her name is, had vowed to return to Barbados for the Cricket World Cup.
She has kept her promise.
Problem is, the Barbados Immigration Department is clearly embarrassed about the matter – calls to Chief Immigration Officer Gilbert Greaves by the newspaper “went unanswered” - and they would undoubtedly be looking for her.
Another problem is with her determination, can they find her?
