Government authorities have arrested Thursday a suspected spy of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) rebels while registering as an evacuee in one of the barangays in this city.
The Police Station 7 identified the suspect as Jermaida Wahid, 27, based on the identification card (ID) confiscated from her possession.
The police said the suspect was arrested after she presented an MNLF ID while registering as an evacuee at the barangay hall in San Roque, six kilometers west of this city.
Social Welfare Secretary Corazon Soliman on Wednesday called on those who sought refuge with their relatives to register in order for them to be given food packs and other relief goods.
Wahid, who claimed to be a resident of Barangay Sta. Catalina, said she is staying with her auntie in Barangay San Roque where she sought refuge when the standoff started last September 9.
She claimed the ID was given to her by a certain Kuya Benjie, who she cannot even identify, sometime in August and is not aware the document will put her in trouble.
The police have also confiscated from the suspect a mobile phone with incoming and outgoing text messages to suspected MNLF personalities.
The suspect has been placed under further investigation to determine the extent of her participation in the ongoing standoff that entered the 11th day Thursday.
