Go and his nephew, Clemence Yu, went missing from NBP Tuesday evening, but were recovered by police authorities Wednesday evening in Alabang, Muntinlupa City.
PNP chief, Director General Nicanor Bartolome, earlier said Go told police that he and his nephew were released by their alleged kidnappers in Tanauan, Batangas, and then took a bus to Alabang where they were taken by police.
Bartolome said Go’s family claimed that there was no ransom paid for their release despite earlier claims that kidnappers demanded a P1 million ransom for the duo’s liberty.
Go was convicted for shooting and killing Eldon Maguan, 25, during a road rage fit in 1991.
