COTABATO CITY – Authorities have beefed up security in the city following the ambush-slay of an employee of the Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (MBHTE-BARMM) by still unidentified gunmen Sunday evening.
“Police visibility and checkpoints were immediately established in strategic sections of the city,” said Col. Portia Manalad, city police director, in a statement.
Major Rustom Pastolero, city police station 2 chief, identified the victim as Mingko Marohom Ebrahim, 32, an employee of MBHTE-BARMM and a resident of Barangay Rosary Heights 7, this city.
Investigation showed that Ebrahim was driving his motorbike along Gonzalo Javier Street, Rosary Heights 7 at about 8:20 p.m. when two men aboard a separate motorcycle shot him from behind.
“Ebrahim sustained multiple bullet wounds on his chest and legs and died on the spot,” Pastolero said, adding that relatives immediately claimed the remains of the victim.
Responding police station 2 operatives recovered empty shells for .45 caliber pistol at the crime scene.
Pastolero said investigators are still trying to establish a lead on the case.
