Police Lt. Gen. Benjamin Santos Jr. denied his involvement in the alleged cover-up of irregularities committed by lawmen in connection with the seizure of P6.7 billion worth of crystal meth in October last year. | dexcabalzaINQ
Santos was the highest among the 10 ranking PNP officials whom Abalos demanded to take a leave of absence or face suspension, to give way to the fact-finding inquiry of the National Police Commission on the “massive cover-up attempt” of the involvement of cops in the seizure of 990 kilos of shabu on Oct. 8, 2022, and an attempted pilfering of confiscated drugs days after by officers of the PNP Drug Enforcement Group .
On Feb. 22, PNP chief Gen. Rodolfo Azurin Jr. named Maj. Gen. Jonnel Estomo as deputy chief for operations—the third-highest position in the PNP—replacing Santos, who was reassigned to the Office of the Chief PNP as part of the PNP’s “regular revamp.” In a press conference on Monday at the Department of the Interior and Local Government main office in Quezon City, Abalos showed a CCTV footage where some PNP officers were seen on the site on the day of the drug raid at the Wealth and Personal Development Lending Inc. office in Tondo, Manila.
The DILG chief was also puzzled why Mayo was even listed as an arresting officer in a different drug operation later the same day when he had already been caught in an earlier buy-bust operation.
