A detention order has been issued for a second woman with an intimate connection to a man now held at Teteron Barracks. 

According to the Detention Order 294, Eesha “Queen B” Joseph was identified as the second in command of the Resistance Gang and listed as the love interest of Robert “R-Man” Paul, a detainee at Staubles Bay. 

Earlier this month, a detention order was issued for Neisha Ramkissoon, also known as ‘Hoggie’. She was also listed as a love interest for Paul. 
Joseph’s order is one of 19 signed by Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander and gazetted on August 19. The orders were signed between July 31 and August 15. 

Joseph, the order said, has operational control and leadership of the Resistance Gang and was identified as a trusted member of the gang who is planning, directing, procuring and supervising gang activity. 

“She has recruited and armed gang members with firearms and provided instructions from the gang leader to engage in acts of kidnapping against the business community and to kill state officials, including members of the TTPS, Prisons Service and the Judiciary. She has recently arranged high-level meetings between gang leaders of several organised crime groups (OCGs).” 

Joseph is alleged to have been recorded as giving instructions to gang enforcers to carry out coordinated assassinations of targeted officers. She has also provided finances and high-powered rifles for distribution to gang shooters and recorded as having an integral role in the carrying out of a recent kidnapping and is a central figure in a planned series of imminent kidnappings of several identified members of the business community. 

“She has also distributed weapons and offered financial incentives to gang members to ensure these activities take place, as well as providing logistical support. A preventative Detention Order pursuant to regulation 14 of the Emergency Powers Regulations, 2025, is needed as information indicates that she has and intends to act in a manner prejudicial to public safety,” the order said. 

Ramkissoon was identified as a trusted member of the Resistance Gang and was reported to have been planning, directing, procuring and supervising gang activity for the Resistance Gang. 

Like Joseph, Ramkissoon is suspected of recruiting and arming gang members with firearms and providing instructions from the gang leader to engage in acts of kidnapping against the business community and to kill State officials, including members of the TTPS, Prison Service and the Judiciary. 

It added: “She recently attempted to get narcotics and communication devices into the Teteron Barracks, where the Gang Leader is being held. Her detention has therefore been deemed critical to disrupting these planned acts of violence.” 

Although currently detained at Staubles Bay, Alexander signed the detention order allowing Paul to be detained to prevent him from acting in a manner prejudicial to public safety. 

“Despite being in prison since 2020, he has been found to be communicating with and directing his gang members to engage in criminal activities, including, but not limited to, murder, kidnapping for ransom, and other violent offences, which make him an immediate and serious threat to public safety. A Preventive Detention Order pursuant to regulation 14 of the Emergency Powers Regulations, 2025, is necessary to prevent him from acting in a manner prejudicial to public safety.”
