Kidnapping and carnapping convict Jaybee Sebastian on Monday said signal jammers in the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) were being turned off to allow the transaction of illegal drugs. Sebastian added that the jammers were only being turned on only during inspections. Noting that there was no shabu laboratory in the NBP, Sebastian said Chinese drug lords ordered drug supplies overseas through cellphones. The Department of Justice earlier said they were eyeing to install two signal jammers worth P2-million each from South Korea inside NBP’s building 14, which currently houses 53 high-profile inmates including Sebastian.
