From the Mindanao Examiner blog site (Feb 23): 2 abducted construction men freed by Sayyafs
Suspected Abu Sayyaf gunmen have freed two construction workers they seized in the southern Philippine province of Sulu, officials said Sunday.
Officials said Jimal Abdilla, 30, and Kilder Sakandal, 45, were released safely in the village of Liang in Patikul town – the same area where gunmen abducted them on Saturday.
Senior Superintendent Abraham Orbita, the provincial police chief, said the duo was blindfolded by their captors and eventually freed.
“We are investigating the abduction. The two men are now reunited with their families,” Orbita told the regional newspaper Mindanao Examiner.
The duo was driving a truck heading to Jolo town when gunmen flagged down the vehicle at the village and seized them. The abduction occurred despite the presence of a marine base in the town.
No individual or group claimed responsibility for the abduction of the two men, who are both construction workers in Sulu.
