ZAMBOANGA CITY -- Joint police and military operatives have arrested a "financial conduit" of the Sulu-based Abu Sayyaf Group in a law enforcement operation in a remote area in this city, an official said Monday.

Capt. Edwin Duco, Zamboanga City Police Office (ZCPO) information officer,
identified the arrested suspect as Abra Adian Marani also known as Abra Hamjari Marani, 45.


Marani was arrested through a search warrant in Barangay Buenavista, this city around 9:30 p.m. Sunday.

Duco said Marani yielded a .45-caliber pistol with seven rounds of live ammunition, a magazine assembly, and a grenade.

Marani is the father-in-law of a certain Abu Talha, who was arrested last year in Barangay Talabaan, this city.

Duco said the suspect is being utilized as "errand and financial conduit" by the Sulu-based ASG bandits.
