Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke, Tivoli don, and son of the late Shower Posse don, Lester Lloyd Coke, aka ‘Jim Brown’, is wanted by the United States government. This was confirmed yesterday by Foreign Affairs Minister Kenneth Baugh, stating that an extradition request has been filed.

“The Government has been notified and discussions are taking place. It is principally the prerogative of the Ministry of Justice and the Attorney General’s office”, Baugh said. In Jamaica, extradition requests are first sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs which must pass them on to the Ministry of Justice and the Attorney General. The documents eventually end up on the desk of the Director of Public Prosecutions who will rule if arrest warrants must be drawn up.

Tom Tavares-Finson, who has represented Coke and his family in the past, said yesterday that he had no idea what his client was wanted for as Coke had no connections with the United States, but rumours are swirling that Dudus is wanted on drug trafficking and conspiracy charges. Tavares-Finson, however said, “ I don’t know what they want him for. I don’t have any access to the documents yet.”

Tavares-Finson also said he was not sure if Coke would turn himself in. Under the Extradition Treaty, accused persons do not have to sell illicit drugs in the United States to be convicted in that country.

The Drug Enforcement Agency has reportedly been probing the activities of senior politicians, police officers and sportsmen from Jamaica, who are allegedly involved in the illegal trade of contraband.


Coke’s father, the notorious ‘Jim Brown’ of the Shower Posse, died in February 1992 in a mysterious fire which broke out in his cell at the Tower Street Adult Correctional Centre.  ‘Jim Brown’ was held by local cops after the United States Government requested his extradition for a series of crimes committed in that country.

Along with his confidante, Vivian Blake, ‘Jim Brown’ was accused of running a multi-million dollar drug dealing gang known as the Shower Posse, which wreaked havoc in several major United States cities.

According to the United States authorities, the Shower Posse was responsible for more than 1,000 murders and gained the name because of their habit of spraying their victims with bullets. Blake has since been released from prison in the US, after spending eight years, and deported.
