CAMP SANG-AN, Labangan, Zamboanga del Sur (DWDD) – Another three Maute ISIS remnants surrendered to Joint Task Force Ranao in Masiu, Lanao del Sur on October 18, 2018.
The three yielded to Lt. Col Edgar Villanueva, 49th Infantry “Good Samaritan” Battalion Commander, thru the efforts of Hon. AlontoGubar, ABC President, Brgy Chairman HamilGubar of Sawir, Masiu and MaliksaifMasjida, Afgani Deputy Base Commander NDBC BIAF-MILF/JCMP member.
They also surrendered one RPG, one caliber 45 pistol, magazines and ammunitions.
Custodial debriefing still on-going as of this posting.
“They were recruited during the Marawi Siege, however they were not able to insert in the main battle area due to the relentless security efforts and checkpoints around the lake”, said Lt. Col Villanueva.
“One of them was involved in Pagayawan clash last June 2018”, he added.
Maj. Gen. Roseller Murillo, Joint Task Force Zampelan commander, commended the troops, local officials and the peace-inclined BIAF-MILF member that facilitated the surrender of Maute ISIS remnants.
