SULTAN KUDARAT, Maguindanao – Police authorities here apprehended two alleged members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) found to be carrying firearms in their vehicle on Thursday.
Major Julhamin Asdani, town police chief, identified those arrested as Datu Ebrahim Egal, 23; and Ali Mama Unting, 32, both farmers and residents of Barangay Rebuken here.
The suspects were on board a red Toyota Corolla sedan (GFD-491) and were passing through a police checkpoint around 11 a.m. when found carrying a fully loaded M16 rifle and a .45 caliber pistol.
“Both alleged that they are members of the MILF’s Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces but failed to present documents to their claim and the firearms they possess,” Asdani said.
Asdani said they have referred the matter to the GPH-MILF peace panel for the proper handling of the case, even as the two suspects remained under their custody.
