Noboa did not take long to respond to the criminal leader, although his words were not what the drug kingpin expected but rather they remained in line with the line adopted by his administration since day one in office.

“Terrorists must be treated with terrorists, we will act firmly,” he began by saying and completely ruled out the possibility of negotiating with him or with any other terrorist since “the country is tired of criminals setting the conditions.”
“Conditions are put in place by good people, Ecuadorian families, the Government, the State… not criminals,” he added.
On the contrary, the president said that “he should turn himself in if he wants, no one is stopping him.”
Noboa confirmed that he will not negotiate with any terrorist
Likewise, Noboa specified that “I also have others who have kidnapped 30 people and want to take advantage of the Geneva Treaty,” in reference to another request by the criminals to guarantee the release of the hostages, although he assured that “fear affects us, “It has everyone on alert, but we have declared a border war on terrorism and we are not going to stop until we solve the security problems throughout the country.”
Colón Pico had been arrested just four days before his escape, on January 5. He is accused of kidnapping following expressing his intention to kill the attorney general, Diana Salazar, although his criminal history includes many other crimes. In fact, he is the leader of the most violent criminal group in Ecuador.
Prior to his escape, on January 8, while the prison riots were taking place, he released a video in which he held Salazar and Noboa responsible for his life following learning of the possibility of his transfer to the maximum security prison of La Roca.
