Three of the five suspects in a shooting incident in Isabela City ,
Basilan were killed during police hot pursuit operations in Lanote, Isabela City
The Basilan police on Thursday identified the slain suspects
as Daud Anjawani, Jerome Anjawani and a certain “Marcos”.
Basilan police provincial director Senior Supt. Shephard
Reyes said that the three suspects were responsible in the killing of a former
village chief in Sumisip and the wounding of a businessman.
Reyes said that during their operations, the suspects fought
back which resulted in an encounter.
The three suspects were allegedly members of an organized
gun-for-hire group operating in Basilan province.
Police probe showed that the group was allegedly being
protected by a prominent politician in the province.
The two other suspects, who managed to escape during the
police operations, were allegedly under the custody now of the Army Special
Forces.
Reyes added that majority of the incidents which occur in
Basilan should not be blamed with the Abu Sayyaf, but members of the Armed
Forces of the Philippines (AFP) who allegedly protect some criminals in the
province.
He proposed to conduct a dialogue with the commander of the
104th Brigade to discuss this issue.
Reyes said that the three suspects were allegedly included
in the payroll of one of the local government units (LGUs) in the province.
He is expected to report this to Department of Interior and
Local Government (DILG) Secretary Ismael “Mike” Sueno.
