MAN FACES KIDNAPPING CHARGES

A TEENAGER is facing kidnapping charges for keeping a 14-year-old girl in barangay Tingob, Mandaue City.

Mike  Sumaylo of  barangay Mabolo, Cebu City said he never forced the girl to go with him and that they were lovers.

The girl’s parents sought  the help of  the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group in Central Visayas (CIDG-7) when the girl didn’t return home since June 25.

Police said Sumaylo and the girl were found in the house of  his relative last Wednesday afternoon in Mandaue City.

Sumaylo said the girl, a  high school student, voluntarily went with him. He said he even advised the girl to  go home.

Sumaylo said he accompanied the girl to a road to wait for a ride home but the  girl refused to go home.

Senior Supt. Jose Pante, chief of CIDG-7, said Sumaylo and the girl became friends when they agreed to  meet in person or “eyeball”  at a downtown mall in Cebu City.

Pante said despite the man’s claim that they were lovers, Sumaylo will still be charged since the girl is still a minor./CORRESPONDENT CHITO O. ARAGON
