The Gleaner can confirm that Christopher 'Dudus' Coke is now at the Norman Manley International Airport awaiting extradition to the US.

Coke earlier today waived his right to an extradition trial in Jamaica in an appearance at a specially arranged court session at a maximum-security facility at the Mobile Reserve Headquarters at Harman Barracks on South Camp Road.

Several helicopters in addition to a plane can be seen on a runway at the airport with a heavy contingent of security.

A group of individuals with 'Dudus' had disembarked from a plane about a half an hour ago and had gone into a building for what appears to be processing.

The Gleaner will keep you updated as this news item unfolds.
