CONVICTED drug lord Tony Co was killed while former Justice department asset Jaybee Sebastian was hurt in a riot that ensued inside the most-secured Building 14 of the New Bilibid Prison Wednesday morning, authorities said. He said they were already in a bad situation and it could get worse if authorities found out they were using shabu inside the jail,” Aguirre said in a radio interview. Bureau of Corrections officer in charge Rolando Asuncion said there were at least eight other inmates who were involved in the riot. Sebastian is a potential witness in the congressional probe on the proliferation of illegal drugs inside the Bilibid when Sen. Leila de Lima was still the Justice secretary. Aguirre said Sebastian would be given additional security as the administration was counting on the latter to spill the beans on de Lima’s involvement in the drug trade.
