President Aquino turned Napoles over to the custody of the Secretary Mar Roxas, (Interior and Local Government) and Director-General Alan Purisima (Philippine National Police).
In the official statement, Secretary Lacierda stated:
"At 9:37 p.m on August 28, Janet Napoles surrendered to President Aquino. Napoles is wanted on charges of serious illegal detention arising from the alleged kidnapping of Benhur Luy.
The President turned her over to the custody of Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas and Philippine National Police Director-General Alan Purisima for processing and booking."
The surrender is following the P10-Million reward offered by the government for the information leading to her arrest. She surrendered in fear for her safety after the reward was offered by the government.
