(Eagle News)–The family of former Cabinet secretary Leoncio Evasco, Jr. has asked the National Bureau of Investigation to probe an alleged plot to assassinate him.
In a letter to the NBI, wife Florita and the children of Evasco, who is running for governor of Bohol, said despite the added security to the former Cabinet secretary, they continue to see “unmarked motorcycles occasionally running alongside the service vehicle of the gubernatorial candidate.”
“Considering that the political rivalry in Bohol is getting intense, there is no room for complacency,” the letter said.
According to the letter, “in the event that the said plot is confirmed, we trust that this investigation will result to the unmasking of the identities of the assassins contracted for the plot but most especially for the people who contracted them.”
“…We are humbly requesting your office to undertake a thorough investigation into the reported assassination plot…,” the letter said.
