NACION WON'T RELIEVE POLICE FORCE
BY GILBERT BAYORAN
Senior Supt. Samuel Nacion, officer-in-charge of the Negros Occidental Police Provincial Office, yesterday rejected the clamor to relieve the entire Isabela police force, in connection with the assassination of Board Member Renato Malabor and his bodyguard on June 28 in the town.
Nacion said there should be a clear basis to justify the relief of the entire police force or the clamor will not be accommodated.
The call to relieve the entire Isabela police force came after some of the colleagues of PO1 Robert Chloe Rito, tagged by witnesses as the gunman in the killing of Malabor and his bodyguard, Leody Jomilla, at the town police station, defended him from the accusations.
