Posted to the Western Mindanao Command (WESTMINCOM) Website (Oct 16, 2019): Kidnap victim rescued, abductor apprehended in Sulu



With the relentless efforts of the AFP and PNP troops, the teacher who was held in captivity was rescued from her abductors in Sulu.



Rose Singua, a 58 year-old teacher of Culianan Elementary School, was rescued at a hotel room in Jolo, Sulu at 6:05 am today, October 16, 2019.

Singua was fetched by a certain MM on September 27, 2019 unaware that she is already subject for abduction.

They were to attend a wedding in Dipolog City but the duo instead boarded a ship en route to Jolo. The following day she called her family that she was abducted. Thus, the Provincial Police Office of Sulu and Joint Task Force Sulu conducted case build-up operation which resulted to a positive lead.

A surveillance and payoff operation was conducted at Jolo port at 5:45 am today, where a bag of ransom money amounting to Php283, 000.00 was handed over by the victim’s sister to a young lady whereby the former was advised that her mother was checked in at room 2 of ANR Hotel.

The sister, accompanied by the operating team, successfully rescued the captive at the said hotel.

“Witnesses said that the abductors of Singua were a young lady, 3 middle-aged ladies, and a gay,” said Maj. Gen. Corleto Vinluan, Jr., JTF Sulu Commander.

A follow-up operation was conducted that resulted to the apprehension of the ransom taker while waiting for a ride bound for Indanan, Sulu. She was later identified as Nurina Jura, 22, and a resident of Martirez, Jolo.

“We are happy that Ms. Singua is safe now and we are able to capture one of her abductors,” said Lt. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana, WestMinCom Commander.

“Our troops and our policemen are still tracking the whereabouts of the remaining abductors and we will not stop until we are able to get them,” Lt. Gen. Sobejana added.

Apprehended personality is currently under the custody of Sulu Provincial Police Office for documentation.
