Following the standoff on Wednesday between lawenforcers and residents in the Elderslie Pen community of Spanish Town, St. Catherine plus the killing of the alleged leader of One Order Gang hours later at Six Miles in St Andrew about 10:30 pm, The Transport Operators Development Sustainable Services (TODSS) is advising bus and taxi operators to avoid the Spanish Town area.
Othneil ‘Thickman’ Lobban was killed by lawmen and videos showing the aftermath of the shooting show several vehicles crashed along the road, it’s believed that ‘Thickman’ was travelling in one of the vehicles.
The report was shared by TVJ News Thursday morning, detailing that several roadblocks were mounted in areas in Spanish Town. At least one store was set ablaze in the area. The Tawes Pen community is currently under lockdown with a Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) helicopter surveying the area.
Several voicenotes of females mourning the killing of their ‘Don’, and audio recordings of gunshots being fired by thugs in the Spanish Town area are also making rounds online, following the killing of the strong man.
Lawenforcers earlier listed Lobban as one of the 5 most wanted men, reports are that he’s linked to many violent crimes across several parishes.
The JCF and JDF are currently on the ground to maintain law and order amidst the tension in the area.
