Plan to remove Obenza blocked

A SINISTER plot involving a top politician in the 2nd district of the province to ease out PNP provincial director Anthony Obenza so he could be replaced with a more “friendly” police provincial director was uncovered last week.

An unnumbered memorandum dated April 8, 2010 and signed by Police Director Abner Cabalquinto “terminated” the designation of PSSupt Anthony Lao Obenza as Acting Provincial Director of the Bohol Police Provincial Office.

Slated to replace Obenza was PSSupt Rodolfo Abejo Llorca effective April 15.

But unconfirmed reports say a Boholano politician has actively sought the intervention of DILG Secretary Ronaldo Puno to cause the issuance of a relief order.

Sensing an evil scheme to derail the gains achieved by the Provincial Peace and Order Council (PPOC) to ensure clean, honest and orderly elections, Governor Erico Aumentado immediately filed an injunctive relief with the courts and sought for the issuance of a temporary restraining order (TRO).
