Government troops apprehended five alleged supporters of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) in the province of Sulu, military officials said Wednesday.
Maj. Gen. Corleto Vinluan, Joint Task Force Sulu commander, said identified the suspects as Alsamer Kasim, 26; Kasmer Kasim, 18; Kerwin Asjada, 25; Denrasher Ahadan Avestruz, 18; and Sulmeser Kasim, 22.
They were apprehended by a team of military and police personnel around 1:09 a.m. Monday in Barangay Busbus, Jolo, Sulu.
“Troops were acting on a report received of the presence of Mundi Sawadjaan roaming around in Busbus accompanied by armed group,” Vinluan said.
He said the suspects yielded several firearms and ammunition.
Lt. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana, Western Mindanao Command (Westmincom) chief, attributed the arrest of the five suspects to the good coordination between the troops of Joint Task Force Sulu, Metro Jolo Inter-Agency Task Group, and the residents in the area.
“This is a clear manifestation that if we work together, we will surely reap better results. Rest assured that we will never stop supporting other law enforcement agencies in all their endeavors,” Sobejana said.
The suspects were turned over to Jolo municipal police station for filing of appropriate charges.
