Vital information from residents in far flung communities in Region Nine about sightings of illegal aircraft and suspected illegal activities were sluggishly acted upon, according to the findings of Brigadier (ret’d) Edward Collins’ investigation of the discovery of a foreign aircraft near to Yupukari, Region Nine last year.
In the 230-page Commission of Inquiry (CoI) report, which was tabled in the National Assembly last Thursday, highlighted breakdowns in communication and negligence of law enforcement personnel in the region.
Collins had previously said that there was enough evidence to suggest that the aircraft was on its way here from Colombia when it developed engine problems.
