DATU ODIN SINSUAT, Maguindanao – Police arrested on Thursday a member of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) with a warrant of arrest for kidnapping carrying an unlicensed firearm.

Maoti Salik, a resident of Barangay Langeban, Kabuntalan, Maguindanao has been turned over to the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group or CIDG-Maguindanao field office, according to Chief Inspector Sabri Lakibul, Datu Odin Sinsuat (DOS) town police chief.


Lakibul said Salik, 53, paid a visit to a relative now detained at Datu Odin Sinsuat lock-up cell Thursday. A jail guard identified as PO2 Shahid Kasim, however, noticed that the suspect had a pistol tucked on his waist.

When checked, police recovered from Salik an MILF identification document and an unlicensed .45-caliber pistol with ammunition.

Lakibul said when checked further with the CIDG, the police found out that Salik has a standing warrant of arrest issued by RTC-Branch 13 Judge Bansawan Ibrahim for kidnapping charges.

Police records show that Salik is a member of the Pentagon kidnap-for-ransom group that victimized rich Filipino-Chinese businessmen during the 1990s in Central Mindanao.

Chief Supt. Graciano Mijares, police director for the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), and has jurisdiction over Maguindanao, lauded the Datu Odin Sinsuat police for Salik's arrest.
