Tension erupted in the courtroom after reports emerged that the National Commission on Organized Crime (NACOC) attempted to re-arrest Abu Trica and two others moments after they were released by the court.
The move allegedly took place inside the courtroom and is believed to be connected to a separate or newly filed case.
The action reportedly angered the presiding judge, who openly expressed displeasure at the timing and manner of the attempted arrest.
Observers described the scene as highly unusual and disruptive to court proceedings.
Authorities have not yet issued an official statement, and further developments are expected as more details emerge.
