The Department of Justice said his sister claims Go and his nephew Clemence Yu, who acts as his nurse, were abducted, and the captors are asking for a P1-million ransom, GMA News reported. The two were found missing during the morning headcount.
Go is suffering from colon cancer, and needs medical attention.
ABS-CBN News said Justice Secretary Leila de Lima has ordered officials of the DOJ and the Bureau of Corrections to investigate the matter. As of 1 pm Wednesday, officials of the BuCor and the DOJ are in a closed-door meeting discussing the matter.
A wealthy businessman, Go was convicted for the death of Eldon Maguan, a De La Salle engineering student, in 1991, after a traffic altercation in Greenhills, San Juan. Go, then 43 years old, broke a one-way portion of Wilson St and shot Maguan in the head while the latter was seated in his car. Maguan had just bought a pizza. He was 25.
It was one of the most sensational murders in the Philippines during that period.
In 1993, a local court convicted Go and sentenced him to life imprisonement. He bolted a local jail before that however but was captured later.
In 2009, Go was moved out of maximum security in New Bilibid, prompting an outcry from the Maguan family. In a minimum security area, prisoners are allowed to move around the compound without escorts.
Under the Arroyo administration, Go sought executive clemency, but this was opposed by the Maguan family.
