The Philippine National Police- Anti-Kidnapping Group
(PNP-AKG) on Monday reported that 10 out of the 25 reported kidnap-for-ransom
(KFR) cases has been solved.
The said figures shows 40 percent of the KFR cases for the
past nine months of the year has been solved.
Of the 25 KFR cases from January to September this year,
nine were reported in Luzon, while two in Visayas and 14 were reported in Mindanao , Sr. Supt. Roberto Fajardo, Director of PNP-AKG
said.
Meanwhile, he added that 35 or 63 percent cases of the 50
KFR cases recorded in 2014 were solved. Out of the said number of KFR cases, 28
were in Luzon, 22 in Mindanao while no
incident was reported in Visayas.
Meanwhile, Fajardo expressed alarm over the increase of hoax
kidnapping cases this year.
Statistics reveals that last year a total of nine hoax KFR
incidents were recorded and investigated by AKG. At present, the AKG already
handled 10 fake kidnap for ransom cases, he said.
Two months before the end of the year, the false reporting
of kidnapping cases greatly affects the human and budgetary resources of the
AKG, Fajardo explained.
With this development, the AKG sought the assistance of
Justice Secretary Leila De Lima to help them in formulating a law that will
punish persons faking kidnap for ransom incidents.
”We are continuously appealing to the public and to our
media friends to help us stop if not, deter kidnapping by providing vital
information on the suspects to include incidents of kidnappings and the AKG
hotline numbers are 09189002020, 09273234894 and (02) 7270000,” Fajardo said.
Under the Oplan Lambat Sibat, the AKG neutralized 29
kidnap-for-ransom suspects as compared to the 31 suspects collared for the
whole year 2014.
The AKG assured that it will strengthen its efforts to catch
more KFR perpetrators.
