5 Abu Sayyaf Group remnants yield in Basilan

Camp Navarro, Calarian, Zamboanga City – September 10, 2023

Five Abu Sayyaf Group personalities submitted themselves to Brig. Gen. Alvin Luzon, Commander of Joint Task Force Basilan at the 101st Infantry Brigade Headquarters in Barangay Tabiawan, Isabela City, on Wednesday afternoon, September 6, 2023.

 
Two of the five former violent extremists were part of the Bayali Splinters. They were known as alias Idol and alias Piping. They have existing warrants of arrest for the violation of Article 267 of the Revised Penal Code due to the kidnappings and serious illegal detentions they perpetrated.

 
Additionally, an ASG supporter under Furuji Indama and two others also voluntarily surrendered to Brig. Gen. Luzon on the same day. They were identified as alias Hussin, alias Rajim, and alias Man.
“The surrenders were made possible through the collaborative efforts of the intelligence units, 18th Infantry Battalion, Joint Peace and Security Team, and the local government units of Albarka and Sumisip,” Brig. Gen. Luzon said.

 
The surrendered personalities handed over two 5.56mm M16 rifles, one 40mm Grenade Launcher, one M1 Garand rifle, and one Colt AR-15.

 
“I commend the Joint Task Force Basilan under Brig. Gen. Luzon for this accomplishment. Rest assured that we will continue to strengthen our collaboration with our partners and stakeholders to sustain peace in Basilan and its neighboring provinces,” Maj. Gen. Steve Crespillo, Commander of Western Mindanao Command, stated.
