18-year-old ASG captive escapes from captors in Sulu

From the Philippine News Agency (Jul 20): 18-year-old ASG captive escapes from captors in Sulu

An 18-year-old kidnapped victim of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) bandit managed to escape from the clutches of her captors in Sulu Monday afternoon.

This was revealed by Joint Task Group Sulu commander Col. Alan Arrojado.

He identified the escaped victim as Ledejie Tomarang, 18, and a resident of Pitogo town, Zamboanga Del Sur.

She was spotted dazed and wandering at Buanza, Indanan town by concerned citizens around 4:30 p.m.

Tomarang was quickly brought to barangay officials who then quickly transported her to Joint Task Group Sulu headquarters.

Upon interrogation, the victim revealed that she was able to escape from her captors due to the ongoing law enforcement operations being conducted by military and police units in Barangays Kagay and Sawaki, Indanan where troopers from the 35th Infantry Battalion have discovered an abandoned ASG camp Sunday.
