Police order probe into drug deal with prisoners

CEBU City - National Police Chief, General Guillermo Lorenzo Eleazar, has ordered a thorough investigation into the claim of two arrested drug suspects here that they were allegedly dealing clandestinely with prisoners at the Cebu City Jail.

Elezar said the duo Benjie Lupian, 42; and Bryan Osabel, 35, who were recently arrested in a sting operation, admitted to police investigators that they were selling illegal drugs to the prisoners.

The pair did not say how they manage to sell or sneak illegal drugs into the jail facility.

Police said Lupian was arrested in the village of Duljo Fatima after authorities seized 1,040 grams of suspected shabu with an estimated market value of P7 million from him; while Osabel was nabbed after being caught with 501 grams of illegal drugs worth P3 million.

“Ang pagkakasangkot ng mga nakakulong na drug traffickers sa transaksyon ng iligal na droga ay nagpapatunay lamang kung gaano kalalim ang operasyon ng sindikato ng droga sa ating bansa,” said Eleazar.

“Inatasan ko na ang RD, PRO7, na masusing imbestigahan ang bagay na ito. Kung totoo man, kailangang matukoy natin kung sino-sino ang kasabwat upang tapusin na ang operasyon ng sindikatong ito,” he added.

There was no immediate statement from jail officials about the allegations of Lupian and Osabel. (Cebu Examiner)
