Solon said Juljani was arrested about 5:30 p.m. Saturday at his hideout, without putting any resistance to the government group.

The police chief of Culianan said Juljani is facing criminal cases for kidnapping and serious illegal detention.

The warrant for the arrest of Juljani was issued by Judge Leo Jay T. Princepe, presiding judge of Branch 1 of the 9th Judicial Branch in Isabela City, Basilan province on January 28, 2008.

Solon said his office has no idea if who were the victims of Juljani as they are only implementing the Warrant of Arrest issued by Judge Princepe.

Juljani was immediately brought to the police station of Culianan for documentation before turning him over to the proper court for disposition.

The police in the city are on hot trail on the whereabouts of suspected ASG in this city, evading arrest in Basilan and Sulu province.

They also strengthened their intelligence network to boost their search for wanted ASG who are hiding in the city.
