Nine Taguig Police Officers Removed from Duty After Alleged Unwarranted Home Invasion

In a decisive move, Brig. Gen. Anthony Aberin, the head of the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO), has ordered the suspension of nine police officers accused of conducting a search without a warrant in a Taguig City residence on February 9. This action was taken to facilitate a thorough and unbiased investigation following the circulation of a video on social media that captured the incident. Aberin emphasized that the NCRPO would not tolerate any misconduct by its officers, particularly in cases involving human rights violations and other illegal activities, as seen in the widely shared video from Taguig. He stressed the NCRPO’s commitment to upholding justice and ensuring that any wrongdoing would be met with appropriate consequences. Reports accompanying the viral video suggested that the officers from ‘Block 5’ were frequently involved in similar unwarranted raids, particularly on weekends. Aberin reaffirmed the NCRPO’s dedication to the principles of law, transparency, and professional conduct.
