ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- It was in 2022, following the arrest of former Premier Andrew A. Fahie, that the then Director of International Relations, Ms Najan Christopher, wrote a letter stating that Mr Fahie, at the time of his arrest, was the Head of Government of the Virgin Islands.

It is unclear if it was done with the full knowledge of her immediate supervisor, the Permanent Secretary. However, because Ms Christopher was perceived to be close to Mr Fahie, she was placed on a witch-hunt list and arrested and charged for simply writing the letter.

Breach of Trust?

Their bogus charge was Breach of Trust. It was clear from day one that there was no case to answer, and it was nothing more than a public officer doing their job, who was targeted like so many others on the list following Mr Fahie's arrest and the one-man Commission of Inquiry.

The Magistrate Court tossed out the trumped-up charges and made clear Ms Christopher had no case to answer.  The Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), Mrs Tiffany R. Scatliffe-Esprit, it is alleged, was forced to appeal.

Now the DPP has found her moral compass, and on May 19, 2026, filed a notice to discontinue the appeal, meaning the matter is now closed. It is unclear if Ms Christopher will now return to her government post after the deliberate character assassination and funds spent on lawyers.

Millions and Millions spent to lock up locals

It was discovered that over two million dollars have been spent on these witch-hunt cases to pay two United Kingdom (UK) Attorneys, Sandip Patel KC and John Black KC. The over two million already spent does not include the appeals and other perks. Millions and millions of taxpayers' dollars were paid out to put Lorna Stevens, Hon Myron V. Walwyn (R6), Wade N. Smith, Julian Willock, Pamphil Prevost, Simon Powers, Marley Sebastian, Claude O. Skeleton-Cline and Najan Christopher in jail.

However, all cases are expected to fail even on appeal, according to most legal experts, because of the weak evidence and local police whistleblowers who have spoken about the objectives of these charges.

    The person that wrote the letter without authorisation wrongly stating the status of the criminal Andrew Fahie?

    That person?

    All charges for VIslanders now bogus?

    I guess that going in the Constitution!!!!!

    Any laws VIslanders want to break we get rid of them.

    What will this place become?

      Whatever you think of Andrew Fahie, was he not in the position of Premier when he was arrested?
      • BuzzBvi (26/05/2026, 00:24) Like (3) Dislike (3) Reply
        He was, but the BVI is not sovereign, Fahie was not a diplomat, and his astonishing conduct was certainly not a protected official governmental activity. Although sometimes we do wonder if that is what the VI want. Drug running, spear fishing, bank robbing, dangerous driving, no helmets, tinted windows etc as accepted activities, along with writing $5Million dollar cheques to bankrupt banks and unauthorised inaccurate letters to officials of the USA.

        The Officer sent the letter without authorisation. It is accurate he was Premier of he Territory.

        It seems recently that the VI want anything that is against the law to be allowed, at least for VIslanders.

    At the time of Mr. Fahie's arrest as the leader of a country the BVI in this case he had immunity from any criminal prosecution. Ms. Christopher the defendant acted in her capacity did what she was supposed to do and she did just that. She was never notified by the Deputy Governor that Mr. Fahie's immunity was withdrawn by the UKFCDO. So therefore she did nothing wrong. The DPP played Patsy to the Governor which was she should've known better and advised the Governor appropriately, but she was afraid to do her job effectively. The case against Ms. Christopher could've had no other outcome by a competent court of Law. The DPP creditability is shaken and she should stepped down to save face.

      If you’re really a solicitor you are very wrong with your opinion! Fahie was the Premier but not the ‘Head of State’ which is where the immunity argument sits. As I recall this was what was referred to in the letter. For reference the Head of State is the Governor and only person who would have been eligible - it was just a sad attempt to get Fahie off the hook for his criminality!

      You're not fooling anyone, if you were a solicitor you would know how to spell your job title. You would also know that Andrew Fahie absolutely did not have immunity, it wasn't withdrawn as it never existed. Such immunity is afforded to heads of state and like it or not our premier isn't head of state.

    The end-game was never to convict! It was a full frontal attack with Andrew as the first move, designed to play on the emotions of the people, sow seeds of doubt and distrust to divide the people, and cast a dark shadow on the territory. Try a referendum now on independence and it will fail miserably. Try a march against the UK and see how many show up. We are certainly not squeaky clean, but then again, tell me who is!

    It's not about BVislanders VINO. It's about you must bring evidence before a court of law and not just bulls...,like, he say,she say and them,say.
    She did not learn from the former DPP,Kc Teranace Williams.
    Just look at the other lawyers that worked under his Supervision.
    People like, Tamia Richards,Faulkner, two Benjamin,Valston Graham and others. But instead she was just undermining and back bighting Mr Williams instead of learning her job.
    The Court does not or should not look at borne here but evidence ( Law)
    The citizen of the British Virgin Islands must call for her to be surcharge because it was dam clear from the onset,the begining that there was not a thread of evidence.
    If she knew what she was doing she should have told the Governor that but no,she there fooling them off.
    My God.
    This is a shame
