No cover-up in Mayo drug mess, says Azurin

Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Police General Rodolfo Azurin Jr. on Monday stated there is no such thing as a plan to cowl up the unlawful drug case involving now-dismissed Police Master Sergeant Rodolfo Mayo Jr.

At a press convention at Camp Crame, Azurin stated there was no try to delay the investigation into Mayo’s supposed involvement within the unlawful drug operations.

“Why start a fact-finding group in the first place if there was no intent to dig deeper in the drug mess, which obviously continued to persist through the years,” Azurin stated.

“The SITG’s finding will prove wrong the critics claim that there was an attempt to derail the investigation,” he added, referring to the Special Investigation Task Group.

Real enemy

Azurin referred to as on Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos to “focus on the real enemy,” because the latter earlier expressed perception that extra high-ranking cops had been concerned within the unlawful drug case.

“Let us focus on the real enemy. Let me call also the attention of our kind SILG to take a second look on the people who may be feeding him misinformation to cast doubt on the integrity of the PNP organization,” the PNP chief stated.

GMA News Online has reached to Abalos for his remark, however he has but to reply as of posting time.
