Police kill drug suspect, arrest 8 others on separate occasions from June 26 to July 3 after the seizure of P18 million worth of shabu in Davao City.
DAVAO ORIENTAL, Philippines – The Davao police have stepped up their campaign against illegal drugs, resulting in the death of a suspect and the arrest of at least eight others who have long been suspected of involvement in the illicit drug trade in the city.
The renewed campaign led to the death of John Roy Badayos, a construction worker, during a raid in Barangay Pampanga on June 30. Brigadier General Alden Delvo, the police regional director of Davao, said the ongoing crackdown on illegal drugs in the Davao region should be seen as “a continuing warning” to those involved in the illicit trade.
Vincent Igana, ranked eighth on the police’s regional list of drug suspects, was arrested in connection with the operation.
