PNP-IG policemen nab wanted folk
NINE most wanted persons, led by a man who has been hiding from the law since 1993, were arrested by agents of the Philippine National Police Intelligence Group (PNP-IG) late last month, the Journal Group learned.
PNP-IG acting director, Colonel Francie C. Candelario said the latest to be nabbed was one Allan Bagatua alias Dennis, 57, who has been wanted by the law for more than 31 years.
In a report to PNP chief, General Rommel Francisco D. Marbil, Candelario said that operatives of the PNP-IG Regional Intelligence Unit 4-A developed the ‘intelligence packet’ that resulted in the capture of the accused in front of the Muzon Harmony Hills High School in Bgy. South Muzon, San Jose del Monte City around 8:30 p.m. last October 29.
Col. Candelario said the accused is the subject of a non-bailable warrant of arrest for murder.
Court records showed that alias Dennis is the prime suspect in the killing of Brgy. Pulang Lupa, Las Piñas City Councilor Edgardo Jimenez.
He went into hiding since then.
The official said that his men were assisted by operatives from the PNP-IG RIU National Capital Region and the Quezon City Police District Intelligence Division in arresting the fugitive.
