AN alert jail guard intercepted shabu stuffed in raw fish a male visitor tried to sneak at the Misamis Oriental Provincial Jail in Cagayan de Oro City.
The visitor who identified himself as Alvin Pagao, of Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental, brought the fish for inmate, alias “Val,” who was convicted for murder, rape and carnapping.
Authorities said Pagao immediately left after turning over the fish to the jail guards.
Prison guards inspected the raw fish and were surprised to see two sachets of shabu in the fish’ intestines.
The guards tried to look for Pagao but to no avail.
The inmate, meanwhile, denied that the illegal drugs Pagao tried to sneak into prison was intended for him.
An investigation is ongoing.
