‘I was forced to resign’: Ex-NBI chief Jaime Santiago says on sudden exit
Retired Judge Jaime Santiago has formally relinquished his post as the head of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).
Santiago stated that he was forced to resign, implying his efforts were either insufficient or not appreciated by the majority.
He previously cited that individuals with "sinister interests" were attempting to besmirch his reputation as the reason for his resignation.
Malacañang accepted Santiago's "irrevocable resignation" on October 27, which he initially filed on August 15.
Following Santiago's resignation, former NBI deputy director Lito Magno was designated as officer-in-charge (OIC).
Santiago urged Magno to lead the NBI objectively during the turnover ceremony.
