LTO exec, brod killed in Iligan ambush
ILIGAN CITY, Philippines – The assistant district officer of the Land Transportation Office (LTO) here and a brother were killed in an ambush a few hundred meters from their residence yesterday.
Police said LTO executive Ali Datumanong was on his way to work when his vehicle driven by his brother was fired upon at around 9 a.m. in Barangay Tubod here.
Bystanders rushed the Datumanongs to the Dr. Uy’s Hospital but they were declared dead on arrival.
Investigators said they were trying to determine if the attack was related to Datumanong’s work at LTO or motivated by a clan feud or rido.
In Manila, LTO chief Arturo Lomibao said they would conduct a parallel investigation into Datumanong’s killing.
“We will be coordinating with the Philippine National Police in our investigation,” he said. – With Perseus Echeminada
