Andas, reports added, held a top post in the NPA in North Cotabato.
“No, that won’t happen. We will never exchange somebody who has long been wanted by law to our colleague who was abducted by the NPA,” said Ajero in a press conference held at Dawn’s Café here Friday.
But Ajero said they would never interfere with the recent negotiations being done by the Diocese of Kidapawan and some non-government organizations (NGOs) for Cui’s safe release from his captors.
“We do appreciate such initiatives. But again, on the side of the PNP, that can never happen,” he stressed.
Cui was abducted in Barangay Tuael, President Roxas last December 28.[]
Cui was having a drinking session with friends from one of the KTV bars in President Roxas town when at least five men, who identified themselves as NPA members, snatched and brought him to the mountains in North Cotabato.[]
