Solomon Cugay, who succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds, was among the PNP personnel included in the 2016 list released by President Rodrigo Duterte.<\/p>\n<p>He said Cugay was accused of coddling or protecting drug personalities and recycling or selling seized illegal drugs.<\/p>\n<p>The case was adjudicated (heard) but Cugay was cleared of the charges, Albayalde said, quoting information from National Capital Regional Police Office chief, Maj. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd for two years basically, authorities did not monitor any illegal activity he is involved in so he was actually adjudicated before,\u201d Albayalde told reporters in press briefing.<\/p>\n<p>But the PNP chief said the investigation still ongoing on the motive behind the killing of Cugay to determine whether it is drug-related or not.<\/p>\n<p>Albayalde clarified that even if Cugay was included in the list, he was not identified as among those &#8220;ninja cops&#8221; or those involved in the illicit reselling of confiscated illegal drugs.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> buy elavil online <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sip.sal.edu.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/jpg\/elavil.html\">https:\/\/www.sip.sal.edu.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/jpg\/elavil.html<\/a> no prescription pharmacy <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Cugay was riding his Yamaha scooter at the Edsa-Connecticut southbound lane when motorcycle-riding gunmen shot and killed him.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Eleazar ordered the creation of a special investigation task group to probe Cugay&#8217;s killing that will be supervised by the Eastern Police District director, Brig.
