Dancehall artiste, Mavado, whose given name is David Brooks, is being accused of inciting violence at the recent concerts staged as part of the ‘Jamzone Summer Break Weekend’ in Guyana.
The promoters say there were security breaches inside the stadium where the concerts were held, saying some of those breaches were beyond their control.
They said they imported security rails from Trinidad and Tobago to secure the VIP area, and that it managed to hold off crowds until Jamaican singer, Mavado performed.
It is alleged that Mavado encouraged people to “come over the rails” while he was on stage, causing a mad rush as hundreds of people tried to get closer.
The promoters say they allowed the show to continue because they feared they might trigger a bigger upset if they brought it to a sudden end.
Patrons were reportedly robbed in the VIP area while Mavado was on stage headlining the regional night concert.
The organizers say they have since apologized to the patrons who approached them.

ZJ Liquid returns on air this week after more than a month-long suspension.
According to a source, Liquid returns to ZIP FM this week after he was suspended in July for playing an expletive on air.
ZJ Liquid, whose real name is Michael Brissett, played an unedited version of Andrew and Wada Blood’s Beggy Beggy on his ‘Fresh 2 Death’ segment. The ZJ immediately covered up the blunder by switching to another song, but not before it was noticed by a number of listeners.
Playing an expletive on air is in direct violation of the Broadcasting Commission’s rules and regulations. This was the ZJ’s second offence since the start of the year. In February, Liquid was suspended indefinitely for playing an unedited version of Aidonia’s Love It. The ZJ returned to air a month later. A Facebook group, ‘Put Zj Liquid back on air’ was formed shortly after. The page currently has over 8,000 fans.
On the page, a number of persons were awaiting confirmation as to when and if the Zip Jock would be back on air. One person commented, “Jah know me radio all a ketch dust, it nuh tun on back from Liquid stop play pon Zip!” Another person said, “Zip nuh good again without Liquid … what happen to ‘Fresh to Death Wednesday’… how we ago hear di fresh tunes, bossy, bus di youth! We need fi hear Liquid.”
Attempts to reach both ZJ Liquid and ZIP FM’s station manager D’Adra Williams, were unsuccessful.

Assistant police commissioner in charge of the Anti-Corruption Branch, Justin Felice, has given himself a timeline of three years in which to clean up the force.
Felice is reported as saying that the process of cleaning up the force has been intensified with the decision not to re-enlist scores of rogue cops.
A shocking 149 police personnel have been kicked out of the force since the start of the year.
An Anti-Corruption Court, a Special Prosecutor and a state agency to deal specifically with corruption, are among the recommendations to help fight the issue.
On January 6, a Special Court started hearing corruption-related cases from the Corporate Area.
ACP Felice is encouraging citizens to report acts of corruption involving members of the force by calling 1-800-CORRUPT, that’s 1-800-267-7878.
