From the Philippine News Agency (Apr 6): (Update) Maute bandits abduct 6 saw mill workers in Lanao del Sur

Lawless bandits under the so-called Maute Group abducted six saw mill workers in Butig town, Lanao Del Sur Monday morning.

As this develops, Western Mindano Command units are now conducting law enforcement operations together with the local police to resolve the incident, WMC spokesperson Major Filemon Tan said in a message to the PNA.

The incident took place at 11 a.m. at Purok 4, Barangay Sandab.

The victims, who were snatched at gunpoint, were identified as Tado Hanobas; Buloy Hanobas; Makol Hanobas; Gabriel Hanobas; Adonis Mendez; and a certain Isoy.

All of them are employees of a saw mill operated by one Haja Anisa Gunda.

"We are also working closely with the PNP in the investigation of this incident," Tan said.
