From InterAksyon (Jan 3): Breakout bid of 'Commander Lastikman' from Maguindanao jail foiled
Jail guards at the Maguindanao provincial jail foiled on Friday the attempt of an alleged kidnapping and carjacking gang leader to escape.
Jail warden Armando Baguamama said guards conducting a routine inspection early Friday morning found hacksaw marks on the bars of the cell where Datukan Sama, 49, alias “Commander Lastikman,” is detained with 28 other inmates.
Sama is facing charges of multiple murder, frustrated murder, kidnapping and carnapping before courts in North Cotabato and Maguindanao.
He was first arrested in Pikit, North Cotabato and detained at the Kidapawan City jail, from which 50 of his followers attempted to spring him in an attack that left at least three persons, including firemen, dead.
He was moved to Midsayap, North Cotabato and later transferred to the Maguindanao provincial jail, from which he escaped in 2013. Rearrested in July that year in Tacurong City, he was returned to the Maguindanao jail on May 2 last year.
Baguamama said they also found a motorcycle a few meters away from the jail, which they suspect was intended to be Datukan’s getaway vehicle.
The guards also found a sachet of suspected methamphetamine hydrochloride, or “shabu,” a steel saw and bladed weapons in Sama’s cell.
The Maguindanao provincial jail, also known as the House of Correction, is located within a military reservation area and beside housing units on PC Hill, Barangay Rosary Heights 1, Cotabato City.
