PNP remains clueless on abduction of contractors

From the Manila Bulletin (Apr 6): PNP remains clueless on abduction of contractors

The Philippine National Police-Anti Kidnapping Group (PNP-AKG) remains clueless on the reported abduction of four local residents here, including an engineer and an architect.

An official of the PNP-AKG said the relatives of the victims were not cooperating with the authorities to provide accurate information on the reported abduction of Engineer Jayson Cababayao, architect Raulito Suyom, Francis Wong and Rho Steven Bochurmo who were reportedly abducted while on their way to Cotabato City last March 29.

“The victims’ relatives are shying away from police authorities which made us more difficult to trace the whereabouts of the victims,” said the official who asked not to be identified.

He said police investigators are still trying to establish contact with the families amid reports that the suspected kidnappers had sent word to the Cababayao family asking for a P10 million ransom.

The victims left General Santos City on March 29 aboard a Mitsubishi Estrada pick up for Cotabato City supposedly to meet up with a contact in a construction project.

Cababayao and Suyom are business partners engaged in construction projects.

The victims were reportedly abducted by armed men somewhere in Maguindanao before they could reach Cotabato City.

The Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters was earlier blamed for the kidnapping but the group had denied any involvement in the incident.

BIFF spokesperson Abu Misry Mama said they had already conducted an investigation on the reported abduction and determine the group responsible for the kidnapping.
