Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Ramli Din said that Musa was not in Kota Kinabalu and the police were also unsure if he had left the country.
We are finding ways to get to him and record his statement, he told press members after the biscuits and tidbits contribution to members from nine security enforcement agencies that are on duty during the Hari Raya Aidiladha celebration.
Ramli added that Musa was being investigated under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation.
To date, a total of nine statements have been recorded in relation to the case, he said.

Musa took his oath before Tun Juhar after the Sabah BN formed an alliance with Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (Star) to form the government with a simple majority of 31 out of the 60 state seats.

Juhar lodged a report against Musa, who remains as Sabah Barisan Nasional chairman, several days after the latte s swearing in as the chief minister on May 10.
It was on May 14, said Ramli on when the report was made by Juhar.
The State Istana had also sent a letter to Musa, informing him that he ceased to be the chief minister with effect on May 12.
On May 17, Musa initiated legal action against Tun Juhar and Shafie to seek a declaration that he was the legally elected Chief Minister.
