The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) has vowed to release the results of its investigation on the alleged illegal drug links of resigned Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Oscar D. Albayalde before he retires on November 8.

The embattled Albayalde is currently in a deep hole after several former police generals during a Senate Hearing implicated him in the 2013 Pampanga narcotics recycling case which involved 13 of his former subordinates.The said 13 police officers known collectively as “ninja cops’’ were accused of stashing some 160 kilograms of their seized shabu from their operation and receiving P50-million from suspected drug dealer Johnson Lee in exchange for his freedom.

Ninja cops are those police officers who sell their seized drugs back to the streets or use them to plant evidence for future operations for financial gains. Aquino who is now the Director General of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency said during a Senate Hearing that Albayalde indeed interceded for the junking of the dismissal order of the said police officers.
