Police have arrested a field commander of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighter (BIFF) who was facing a case of double murder during an operation in Cotabato City.
Director Victor Deona, head of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), said Zainudin Kawilan was collared in a joint police and military operation after tipsters informed authorities of his whereabouts.
“He is a field commander of the Special Operations Group of the BIFF,” said Deona, adding that Kawilan’s jobs included bombing and ambush attacks on police and soldiers.
While most of the BIFF forces are concentrated in the far-flung areas of Central Mindanao, Kawilan reportedly frequents Cotabato City as he has been moonlighting as a hitman.
“We have reports that he is involved in gun-for-hire activities,” said Deona.
He, however, could not elaborate on the reason Kawilan’s most recent visit in Cotabato City that led authorities to finally nabbing him.
