Dawlah Islamiya fighter Bokharie Macadato Mahmod surrendered to soldiers of the 49th Infantry Battalion in Lanao del Sur on March 16.
Mahmod turned over to military troops one Carbine rifle, one COLT Caliber .45, magazines, and pieces of ammunition in Barangay Pagalongan, Sultan Dumalondong.
Military troops, along with Sultan Dumalondong Mayor Jamal Kurangking and Lumbayanague Mayor Salamona Asum, facilitated the surrender of Mahmod to 49IB Commanding Officer Lt. Col. Benjamin Tapnio.
Mahmod was recruited by alias Inspire, a Dawlah Islamiya sub-leader. He is a close friend of Dawlah Islamiyah fighter Emir, alias Abudar.
The former rebel fought against combat forces of the 103rd Infantry Brigade during their deliberate operations in Butig Municipality and Marawi City in 2016 and 2017.
After five months of fighting, Mahmod escaped from the main battle area by swimming across Lake Lanao.
Military troops debriefed Mahmod and kept safe the surrendered firearms and war materials.
“We want to dissuade more combatants from fighting and risking their lives on battlefields. We want this message to reach even those hardcore terrorists because our reformative program includes every rebel desiring a renewed life,” said Lt. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana, commander of the Western Mindanao Command.
“We urge other fighters to join our security and development campaign by crossing the line and returning to the fold of the law,” he added.
