Zambo police rescue boy from Sulu kidnappers

From the Manila Bulletin (Jul 3): Zambo police rescue boy from Sulu kidnappers

Zamboanga City – Police rescued a two-year-old boy, and arrested the three suspects who allegedly abducted him in a daring rescue operation conducted in Patikul, Sulu Sunday  morning.

Elements of the Zamboanga City-Tetuan Police Station, under Supt. Nonito Asdai, coordinated with the Sulu police in carrying out the rescue of Haima Taji, who is a resident of Barangay Arena Blanco here and was abducted last Friday in full view of his mother.

Arrested during the rescue operation were the boy’s abductors identified as Danny Abdurasad Patta, 28, of Barangay Hambilan, Siasi, Sulu: Muktadir Musa Mohammad, 41, of Barangay  Langhub, Patikul, Sulu; and Haron S. Sahirun, 52, of Barangay Langhub, Patikul, Sulu.


Asdai said the police were able to rescue the boy at the residence of one of the suspects in Sitio Suwah-Suwah, Anuling in Patikul, Sulu at 7:45 a.m. Sunday.

Taji was earlier taken by the suspects from his home in Barangay Arena Blanco in this city and was brought to Patikul, Sulu.

According to Asdai, his men coordinated with the  Jolo Police Station, the Sulu Provincial Police Office and  with Task Force Sulu (AFP), Anti Kidnapping Group (AKG) before undertaking the rescue mission.

The Zamboanga City policemen had  also alerted  the nearby PNP units and asked them  to be ready to respond to any situation that may arise.

After taking custody of the  young Taji, Asdai said they brought the boy to the Sulu Provincial Hospital for medical check-up before he was transported to this city on a ferry boat. He was eventually turned over to his mother here.

The three suspects are now detained at the Sulu provincial police office, pending the filing of appropriate charges against them in court.
