According to provincial information officer Salma Jayne Tamano, although Adiong was discharged last March 1, he has not yet reported to office as he still undergoes therapy at home.At least three persons are now facing complaints for murder, frustrated murder, and attempted murder for the ambush on Adiong’s convoy.
Col. James Gulmatico, deputy regional director for operations of the Police Regional Office in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region, witnessed the filing of the complaints for four counts of murder, three counts of frustrated murder, and multiple counts of attempted murder.Adiong’s police-led seven-vehicle convoy was en route to Wao town from the provincial capital of Marawi City when they were waylaid by armed men between the villages of Ragayan and Dilimbayan at around 3 p.m.
Hours after the ambush, Adiong underwent minor surgery in a hospital in Cagayan de Oro City to remove a slug from his lower abdomen. A day after the ambush, police and PDEA operatives destroyed 25,000 hills of marijuana plants, estimated to have a street value of P5 million, in Maguing’s Barangay Bato-Bato where they also busted marijuana plantations last year.
