Police are hunting down the so-called “ninja cops” linked to the illegal drugs trade who went on absence without leave (AWOL) from service while assigned in Mindanao. President Rodrigo Duterte has earlier announced a PHP2-million reward for anyone who could provide information leading to the arrest of the members of the ninja cops.

Supt. Enrico Rigor, chief of the Philippine National Police-Anti-Illegal Drugs Group (PNP-AIDG) Legal and Investigation Division, said with or without the reward, there is an ongoing intensified manhunt against the ninja cops.

In the list of the PNP-AIDG, 13 of the ninja cops were transferred to Mindanao since July 1 from the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO), specifically from the Quezon City Police District (QCPD).

The so-called ninja cops have the ranks ranging from Police Officer 1 to Police Senior Inspector.

However, all of them went on AWOL from work since the incident last Sept. 5 where two of them were shot, including one who eventually died.

Rigor said that the ninja cops who went on AWOL will undergo pre-charge investigation until they are dismissed from police service.
