If the criminal syndicate and drug personalities in Misamis Occidental and other neighboring provinces are to be neutralized, a change in the Police Regional Office in Region 10 leadership is necessary, said Misamis Occidental Governor Henry Oaminal.
OZAMIS CITY – If the criminal syndicate and drug personalities in Misamis Occidental and other neighboring provinces in the region are to be neutralized, a change in the Police Regional Office in Region 10 leadership is necessary, said Misamis Occidental Governor Henry Oaminal.
In a press statement, Oaminal noted the alleged re-surfacing of criminal gangs and illegal drug personalities in the province, blaming these on the alleged alliances that these criminal elements have struck with some political groups. Oaminal, who was present during the incident, said he called up Brig. Gen. Benjamin Acorda Jr. to alert him of the shooting.
“And because of the political interest of our opponents, they aligned with the criminal syndicate and were able to have an ally with some police. That gave them the strength ,” claimed Gov. Oaminal.
