Shortly after his arrest in Marawi City, Jachob "Coco" Rasuman, a
businessman linked to a multimillion-peso pyramid investment scam, was
brought to National Bureau of Investigation headquarters in Manila
Tuesday night.
A flight bearing Rasuman arrived
at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2 at 10:30 p.m.
Tuesday, radio dzBB reported Wednesday.
From the NAIA, Rasuman was whisked off to NBI headquarters in Manila under heavy guard, the report said.
On Tuesday afternoon, Lanao del Sur police head Senior Superintendent
Romel Magsalos said the NBI served an arrest warrant on Rasuman past 2
p.m.
Magsalos said Rasuman was taken into NBI
custody. He did not give further details about the arrest, except that
Rasuman was arrested at his house in Marawi City.
Also, Magsalos said they remain on full alert despite Rasuman's arrest, according to a report by dzBB's Divine Caraecle.
The report quoted Magsalos as saying they are drawing up plans to head
off any violent reactions by victims of the scam, should Rasuman fail to
reimburse them. — ELR, GMA News
