MIDSAYAP, North Cotabato -– Police
authorities here arrested Tuesday a member of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front
(MILF) and a former village watchman for possession of an unlicensed gun and
prohibited substance.
Supt. Reynante Delos Santos, Midsayap police chief,
identified the arrested persons as Kanda Taeb, 25, a member of the MILF’s
Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces based on his identification card and Pepe
Salang, 27, former Barangay Tanod (village watchman), both residents of
Barangay Nalin, an outskirt village of Midsayap near the borders with Datu
Piang town in Maguindanao.
Delos Santos said the two were arrested based on a search
warrant issued by a local court for illegal drug pushing.
Acting on a tip from a villager, Delos Santos led a team of
police officers and raided the house of Salang early Tuesday morning. The two
did not resist arrest.
“We have received an A-1 information so we immediately
proceeded to Barangay Nalin,” Delos Santos told reporters.
The raiding team seized four sachets of methamphetamine
hydrochloride, locally known as “shabu” and “bato” and shabu paraphernalia.
Delos Santos said the raiding team also seized an unlicensed
cal. 45 pistol with 10 bullets from the suspect.
Delos Santos said the duo, now detained at Midsayap PNP lock
up cell, have been charged with violation of RA 9165 or the Comprehensive
Dangerous Drugs Act of 2000.
