Heavily armed members of the Maute terror group stormed the Lanao del Sur provincial jail compound in Marawi City late Saturday afternoon and freed eight of their companions who were earlier arrested by the Army and police last Monday while 20 other prisoners escaped, police said.
In his report to higher headquarters, Chief Superintendent Agripino Javier, regional police director of the PNP Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao said an estimated 50 men armed with high-powered firearms stormed the jail at around 5:45pm Saturday leading to the escape of their eight companions including three women and the 20 other prisoners.
Javier said the group also seized an M14 rifle and an M16 rifle; and a Mitsubishi vehicle from the jail guards.
A jail guard, JO3 Modasir Manwang was taken by the group but was released later in Barangay Caloocan, Marawi city.
The report said the armed men and their freed companions escaped on motorized boats in Lanao Lake.
