as part of the government’s efforts to cleanse the ranks and get rid of “bad eggs” within the Philippine National Police .At a press conference in police headquarters in Camp Crame, Abalos said he will create a special five-person team to investigate police officials involved in illegal drug trade.A ninja cop is a police officer involved in a money-making scheme through the resale of confiscated illegal drugs.
Abalos said there is a need to take a radical approach versus illegal drugs by cleansing the PNP because it is unfair to the majority of the police officers who are putting their lives on the line everyday to combat illegal drugs while some of their bosses in the organization are behind the illegal drug trade.
In October last year, anti-narcotics agents seized more than 900 kilos of shabu worth about P6.7 billion in Tondo, Manila from a suspected drug pusher, which also resulted in the arrest of a police officer.Atadero later told investigators that more illegal drugs were stored at a lending company office in Sta. Cruz, also in Manila.
