"Hinaot nga ang mga sama niini nga panghitabo panalaminan sa mga dautan nga elemento. Kay ang krimen dili gyud mo padayun diri sa dakbayan tungod kay adunay panaghiusa ug pag tinabangay sa kapulisan ug ang kumunidad aron masugpo ang mga binuhatan nga makadaut sa panginabuhian ug lumulupyo sa Cagayan de Oro City," she concluded.

It can be recalled that on January 1, 2020, an unidentified suspect who allegedly called himself a policeman has reportedly been extorting money from the vendors inside the Bulua Westbound Terminal.

Vendors were shocked as the "fake policeman" started roaming around the vendor's stalls and one by one extorted them money. Unlucky, the suspect, who failed to extort money as vendors did not allow him – as they have no sales on that particular day being January 1 and the terminal was empty with passengers.

The "fake cop" allegedly pointed his still undetermined pistol to some of the fish wholesalers. One of the vendors said the suspect has been frequenting the fish landing area and would ask for several kilos of fish, telling them it was his son's birthday. (JCE)
