A concerned citizen of the Municipality of Omar coordinated with the PMRFS following Usman’s desire to surrender before the government and military authorities.
Acting on said report, LtC. Stephen L. Cabanlet, PN(M) and his men, in coordination with the Philippine Marines Ready Forces 2, the Naval Intellgence Special Unit2, and the Marine Intelligence Detachment 2 proceeded to Barangay Angilan of said town to check on the veracity of the report and the identity of reported surrenderee.
Under the command of PMRFS' Col. Armel S. Tolato, PN(M)(MNSA), the Marines facilitated the surrender of Usman.
Marine Operatives conducted initial debriefing to Usman before transporting him to Kampo Heneral Teodulfo Bautista Hospital where he underwent treatment against trauma.
In a phone interview, Cabanlet said, "We, your Marines, continue to work to stop terror activities in our country."
Lt Ramel Vilocura, PN(M), 1MBn Civil-Military Operations Officer received Usman as he surrendered himself, with his arms and ammunition.
In the last days of the past week, the marines under Cabanlet's command conducted community services with more than a dozen non-government organizations participating in a joint outreach program.
Visiting volunteers from Luzon, Visayas, and other parts of Mindanao went to three towns in Sulu over the weekend to render free community services.
