CITY – An Army bomb squad defused an improvised explosive planted in a trash
can in front of the house of a municipal councilor in Gamu, Isabela town last
Oct. 31, the day the town’s vice mayor was suspended by the provincial board
for alleged grave abuse of authority.
Senior Insp. Calixto Labang, Gamu police
chief, said councilor Jose Lora, a former ally of suspended Vice Mayor Fernando
Cumigad, immediately sought the help of the Army’s 5th Infantry Division at
Camp Upi when the explosive was found when he went out to buy something in a
nearby bakery.
Labang, however, said the explosive was
not powerful to cause destruction to life and property and appeared to have
been planted to frighten Lora.
Lora is now an ally of Mayor Nestor Uy,
who filed the administrative complaint against Cumigad, the former mayor.
