CEBU CITY — A former ally of the number one drug lord in Central Visayas was arrested in a buy-bust operation on Wednesday afternoon at Sitio San Vicente, Barangay Duljo Fatima, Cebu City.

Arnulfo Bermijo Abellana, 52, was detained at the Mambaling police station pending filing of charges for violating the Comprehensive Dangerous Act of 2002 for selling illegal drugs.

Seized from the suspect was P185,000 worth of shabu (methamphetamine hydrochloride) placed in three large and one medium-sized packs.

FEATURED STORIES

Abellana used to work with Jeffrey “Jaquar” Diaz, the biggest drug lord in Central Visayas who was killed in June 2016 during a shootout with police in Las Piñas City.

The buy-bust on Abellana stemmed from the monitoring of the Mambaling police station that showed that he had been peddling drugs in the village.  SFM/rga
