Lawyer Rennan Augustus Oliva, director of the National Bureau of Investigation(NBI)-Bohol clarified on Sunday that the information circulating online claiming that Eric John Borja was released after Saturday night buy-bust is fake because the suspect is still detained as of posting.

Oliva further said that those who doubt can personally check the NBI detention facility in Tagbilaran City.
