A member of the local terrorist Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) wanted for a string of criminal cases in Zamboanga was arrested on Wednesday by police operatives in Quezon City where he had been hiding for the past two years.
Janhar Abdulhari alias Julpikar Pendiwata, 37, was arrested on Wednesday night at Tierra Pura Homes, Tandang Sora in Quezon City, according to Southern Police District Director Brig. Gen. Kirby John Brion Kraft.
Kraft said that Abdulhari, a notorious member of the ASG fled to Metro Manila, following the filing of murder and kidnapping charges against him in Zamboanga Sibugay, where is also being hunted by local authorities.
“The suspect was a known member of the ASG operating under Kumander Wanning Abdusallam. The ASG has been implicated in numerous cases of kidnapping and murder in Zamboanga Sibugay over the past several years,” Kraft said in a statement.
Specifically, the ASG member was being sought for murder in Zamboanga, which he had managed to elude for the past two years.
Kraft said Abdulhari was also listed in the wanted lists of municipal and provincial levels of Zamboanga Sibugay.
The police director said Abdulhari was traced in Quezon City following intelligence reports where the warrant for murder was also served on him.
The ASG member was taken to the District Special Operations Unit of the Southern Police District office where he underwent arrest-booking procedures.
The suspect is also undergoing debriefing.
