Camp Navarro, Calarian, Zamboanga City- December 9, 2020
A kidnap-for-ransom group/Abdussalam Group sub-leader was killed after resisting arrest at Sitio Sahaya, Barangay Mampang, Zamboanga City on December 9, 2020, said Lt. Gen. Corleto Vinluan, Jr., Commander of the Western Mindanao Command.
According to Lt. Gen. Vinluan, Jr., the combined elements of the military and the police were serving a warrant of arrest to Samad Awang, a.k.a. Ahmad Jamal y Mara, around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday when the latter drew his Caliber 45 pistol and fired toward the operating troops.
“With their lives in danger, the apprehending team retaliated which resulted in the instantaneous death of Awang,” said Lt. Gen. Vinluan, Jr.
The team immediately coordinated with the Scene of the Crime Operatives to process the scene.
Recovered from the subject’s possession were one Caliber 45 pistol chamber with a magazine loaded with 4 live ammunition, one extra magazine with seven live ammunition, and two fired cartridge.
Meanwhile, Joint Task Force Zamboanga Commander Col. Antonio John Divinagracia said that Awang had a warrant of arrest for violation of Article 267 of the Revised Penal Code (Serious Illegal Detention, Kidnapping, and Hostage-Taking) issued by Honorable Josefino Bael, presiding judge of the 9th Judicial region, Regional Trial Court Branch 31 in Imelda, Zamboanga Sibugay.
Col. Divinagracia further stated that Awang is listed number 25 on the KFRG wanted list of the Police Regional Office 9.
“He led the kidnapping of Joel Endino last Jan 29, 2011, in Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay. He was also responsible for the kidnapping of Gean Carlos Bossi in 2007 and Kathy Casipong in 2013,” said Col. Divinagracia.
The successful operation was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the PNP’s Anti-Kidnapping Group, Special Action Force, Regional Mobile Force Battalion-9, Police Station-6, and Zamboanga City Police Office; and the AFP’s Joint Task Force Zamboanga and Marine Battalion Landing Team 11.
