Manila, Philippines - Arresting the pork barrel scam queen Janet Lim-Napoles will not be easy according to the DOJ Secretary Leila de Lima. In a press conference held in Malacanang, De Lima revealed that Napoles now has a private army.
“Based on our gathered intel, Janet Lim-Napoles is surrounded by a group of armed men who call themselves as Napoles Freedom Fighter”, De Lima said.
The DOJ secretary said that the Napoles may have used her money to buy all the criminal groups in the provinces. De Lima also revealed that the Napoles Freedom Fighter now has tanks, armored personnel vehicle, fighter jets and submarines.
“We are dealing with a powerful person here. Napoles can topple the government in no time.” De Lima added.
Red Alert Status
AFP Chief of Staff General Emmanuel Bautista can't contain his surprise that Napoles' private army is better equipped than the Philippine military. He said that intelligence revealed that the NFF now has around 5,000 members coming from criminal syndicates and rebel groups.
