Lito Magno named NBI Officer-in-Charge
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. has appointed Angelito Magno as the new Officer-in-Charge (OIC) director of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).
Magno, a career official within the NBI, previously held positions such as Assistant Director for Legal Service and led NBI offices in Northern Mindanao and Central Luzon.
He also handled significant cases, including the apprehension of former Bamban Mayor Alice Guo.
Magno replaces retired judge Jaime Santiago, who resigned on August 15, citing 'detractors' and 'sinister interests', and denying allegations of being a 'bagman' for e-sabong and POGOs.
As NBI OIC director, Magno will lead the bureau in its mandate to investigate crimes and provide technical assistance to other government agencies until a new chief is appointed.
