He belied the claim of Superintendent Rafael Dumlao III that Jee’s abduction and killing was a joint operation of the police and NBI.

As far as he knows, he said Dumlao is the mastermind.

He said when he was with Senior Police Officer 3 Ricky Sta. Isabel, he heard Dumlao giving instructions about the operation.

Omlang said he got involved because he was invited by Sta. Isabel whom he considered as his friend.

Omlang claimed he was the one seen on a CCTV footage withdrawing from an ATM machine using the account of Jee. He said he also conducted surveillance operations at the Korean’s house.

He is currently under the NBI’s protective custody. He said he received death threats from Dumlao.
