ILOILO City – The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Region 6 conducted an unscheduled inspection of the prison facility in San Jose, Antique and recovered no contraband.
The inspection was conducted on March 19 at 8 a.m. PDEA operatives brought with them dogs trained to detect illegal drugs and explosives.
No illegal drugs, explosives, firearms and other deadly weapons were found, said Chief Inspector Jonairy Sitchon, jail warden.
After the inspection, 10 jail guards and 30 inmates were subjected to a drug test. Results were yet to be released as of this writing.
Included in the 30 drug-tested inmates was Boni Prevendido Gregori, nephew of slain drug lord Richard Prevendido of Barangay Bakhaw, Mandurriao, Iloilo City.
Gregori had been in detention at the San Jose jail facility since Nov. 4, 2016 after he and eight drug suspects were arrested in a buy-bust operation of the police and PDEA in Barangay Camandagan, Tobias Fornier, Antique.
Ten months after, on Sept. 1, 2017, Gregori’s uncle Richard was killed in a shootout with policemen in Barangay Balabago, Jaro district here./PN
