SAN FRANCISCO, Agusan del Sur — Police arrested on Wednesday a municipal legislator who was reportedly on the list of alleged narco politicians of President Duterte.
Apolonio Layugan, a member of the Sangguniang Bayan of Esperanza town, was arrested during a raid on his farm in Barangay Dakutan, according to local police director Chief Inspector Lucio Datahan.
Layugan is a former three-term Esperanza vice mayor.
Datahan said police led by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) seized from Layugan’s farm house eight sachets of suspected shabu worth P59,000 and a 9-mm Glock pistol.
Layugan is under the custody of the PDEA-Caraga regional office in Butuan City, Datahan said. CBB
