From the Philippine Star (Apr 12): Village chief, aide slain in Abu attack

A village chairman and his escort were killed in an ambush by suspected Abu Sayyaf bandits in Sumisip, Basilan yesterday.

Nurahman Japparul, 52, chief of Barangay Mangal, Sumisip, and Hajim Barilyo died at the scene due to several gunshot wounds, Basilan police director Senior Superintendent Mario Buyucan said.

The victims were on a motorcycle when they were waylaid at the border of Barangays Sumisip Central and Mangal at around 6 a.m.

The bandits were reportedly led by Abu Sayyaf sub-leader Juhaibir Alamsirul, alias Abu Kik.

“The bandits burned the victims’ motorcycle,” case investigator Police Officer 3 Khasmer Osamad said.
