Following an acid attack on him on Tuesday night, Assistant Treasurer of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) and the Demerara Cricket Board, Pretipaul Jaigobin says he plans to resign.
Jaigobin believes that the attack was prompted by the fact that he has been very vocal about the malpractices within the GCB. The debate about these malpractices, he told Stabroek News from his hospital bed yesterday, boiled over at the board’s most recent statutory meeting held last Friday.
“After I get through what has happened to me I plan to quit,” Jaigobin told this newspaper. The man said that if this is the result of his honesty then he doesn’t know what could possibly happen to him in the future.
Just after 9 that night, as Jaigobin walked away from a restaurant following “a buddy”, he was attacked by a strange man. The man asked him: “Why you don’t leave my friends alone?” and proceeded to pitch acid in his face.
