Two days after it
freed a public school teacher, the Urban Terrorist Group of the Abu Sayyaf
(UTG-ASG) has demanded a P10-million ransom for the safe release of two public
elementary school teachers the bandit group kidnapped early this month in
Talusan town in Sibugay province.
Zamboanga City
Police Director Sr Supt Angelito Casimiro said the ransom demand was
relayed to the families of the victims who were still hoping that the
kidnappers will release their relatives them even without paying any bounty.
The ASG is
holding captive public school teachers Reynadit Silvano, 34 and Russel Bagonoc,
22 in a forested area somewhere in Basilan province.
The two public
school teachers were kidnapped last March 5 at around 8 a.m. by six members of
the ASG while they were on their way to the Tuburan Elementary School
The kidnappers
were later identified by the police as brothers Naim Sabdani, Mansul Sabdani,
and Amadan Sabdani, residents of Barangay Moalboal, Talusan; Edimar Isnain and
two other unidentified persons. They were reported to be members of the
ASG-UTG.
Casimiro said the
police here has already informed Sibugay province Governor Wilter Palma about
the development and the P10-million ransom demand of the kidnappers.
Last Wednesday,
the ASG release Allyn Muksan Abdurajak, 44, of the Jolo School of Fisheries,
unharmed.
Abdurajak was
abducted by two ASG gunmen operating in Barangay Kajatian, Indanan, Sulu at
around 6:10 p.m. Tuesday. Marathon
negotiations between her relatives and the kidnappers resulted her early
release.
