President Duterte said he will offer a P1-million cash reward to anyone who can give the whereabouts of the three National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) agents allegedly involved in the killing of a Korean businessman Jee Ick Joo if they fail to surrender within 24 hours.
Duterte, in a late night press conference in Malacañang, ordered NBI Director Dante Gierran to do everything to make the involved agents surface within 24 hours.
He earlier announced a P5-million cash reward to anyone who can bring Senior Supt. Rafael Dumlao to Camp Crame or even in front of the Malacañang Palace dead or alive, but he was later informed that the police officer had already returned to Camp Crame Sunday afternoon and is ready to “tell all” about the abduction and killing of Jee.
“I am offering P5-million reward, cash, para kay Dumlao. Dead or alive. It will take effect pag hindi ka sumuko in 24 hours ‘pag ‘di ka sumuko,” Duterte said before he learned that Dumlao had already surrendered.
“Bakit malaki? Kasi [expletive] sinira mo ang pulis. Galit ako kasi pati ako napahiya,” he added.
Jee was kidnapped from his house in Angeles City, Pampanga, last October 2016 by around eight men including three police officers and three NBI agents. He was reportedly killed inside Camp Crame on the same day.
Jee’s body was reportedly brought to the Gream Funeral Services in Caloocan City and cremated afterwards.
