Daclan was arrested by police on Tuesday and was presented to Cebu City Mayor-elect Tomas Osmeña Wednesday morning.

According to Daclan, drug dealers in their area thought that Maternal informed law enforcers about the illegal drug operations in their place hence his execution.

He said he paid P30,000 to the assassin who remained at large.
