"'Yung kanyang allegation regarding dito po sa German Agojo po ay iimbestigahan po 'yan at titignan din po ng PNP at NBI 'yan," PNP spokesperson Police Colonel Jean Fajardo said in an interview on GMA News’ Unang Balita.
Fajardo, however, said the PNP is appealing to the public not to lose focus on the investigation and urged Bantag to bring his defense and evidence to the proper quorum like the preliminary investigation.amid the murder complaints filed against him over the deaths of Lapid and Cristito Villamor Palaña, a New Bilibid Prison inmate who allegedly served as the middleman in the October 3 killing of Lapid.
Bantag said Agojo, Villamor and Escorial were involved in the death of a judge in Tagaytay City. He pointed to Agojo as the group's ringleader.
