Navotas City Police Station (NCPS) Chief Col. Allan Umipig on Monday, Aug. 14, confirmed that 27 city police personnel were relieved from their post following the death of a 17-year old boy who was shot by six operatives after they mistook him for a suspect behind a shooting incident in Barangay NBBS in the city on Aug. 2.

Upon their arrival, they noticed Jemboy, along with one alias “Sonny Boy,” hiding in a boat. They tried to convince the two men to surrender as they thought that one of them was the suspect that they were looking for.The body of the victim was allegedly retrieved several hours after the incident. The trainings will be conducted by phases and the 27 relieved NCPS personnel would be the first to take the refresher course.
