Detained 'ASG member' killed after attack on PDEA official

From the Philippine News Agency (Aug 19): Detained 'ASG member' killed after attack on PDEA official

ZAMBOANGA CITY -- An alleged member of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) and a detainee of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) was killed when he attacked an official of the agency in this city.


Supt. Rogelio Alabata, Police Regional Office-9 (PRO-9) spokesperson, disclosed the incident occurred around 7 p.m. Thursday at the PDEA regional office in Barangay Upper Calarian, this city.

Alabata identified the slain alleged ASG member as Abdulmuhmin Sumampil alias Boy of Barangay Sengal, Lamitan City, Basilan province.

Alabata said investigation showed that Sumampil was taken to an investigation room as he volunteered to give information about his illegal drugs’ source.

He said Sumampil, when inside the room, requested to transfer the handcuff in front to enable him to draw the location sketch of his source of illegal drugs.

He said Sumampil pulled an umbrella nail from the pocket of his short pants and stabbed PDEA Assistant Regional Director Levi Ortiz, who was talking to the suspect at that time.

He said Ortiz managed to evade and shot Sumampil in defense of himself.

Alabata said Sumampil sustained two gunshot wounds and was rushed to the Zamboanga City Medical Center (ZCMC) but was declared dead on arrival by the attending physician.

PDEA regional office stated on its social media page that Sumampil was arrested together with Nurhaida Saupi in a buy-bust operation on August 13 in Barangay Tetuan, this city.

PDEA said they confiscated from Sumampil’s possession 15 grams of methamphetamine hydrochloride locally known as shabu with an estimated PhP13,500 market value, marked money, a caliber .45 pistol with silencer and eight live ammunition, and other prohibited drug paraphernalia.
