The Lamitan City Peace and Order Council (CPOC) has requested the police and military authorities to augment its forces to prevent occurrence of violent incidents in that city.
The request was made through a resolution authored by Councilor Joaquin Puri that was approved during the CPOC emergency meeting on Friday.
Lamitan City Mayor Roderick Furigay has convened the CPOC in an emergency meeting where they discussed measures to prevent further occurrence of violent incidents after two simultaneous bomb explosions rocked the city Thursday night.
Last April 13, three people, including a father of a mayoralty candidate, were wounded in a shooting incident.
The additional forces will help double up the security as they will assist and support the already deployed policemen and military forces in the maintenance of law and order in
The resolution was addressed to the Basilan police provincial command and the Army’s 104th Infantry Brigade.
The CPOC also passed another resolution condemning in the strongest form Thursday night’s twin bombings and the April 13 shooting.
Thursday night’s twin bombings destroyed one of the campaign vehicles of Lamitan City Vice-Mayor Arleigh Eisma, who is running for mayor.
Wounded in last April 13’s shooting incident were Henry Furigay, the father of Councilor Hegem, who is running for mayor, Bernard Cuevas and Hadja Mariam Sergio.
Henry is the elder brother of Mayor Roderick Furigay, who is running for vice-mayor while his wife is seeking election for mayor.
