Camp Navarro, Calarian, Zamboanga City- October 22, 2020A joint military and police operation resulted in the surrender of a local terrorist group/kidnap-for-ransom group member on October 22, 2020.
According to Lt. Gen. Corleto Vinluan, Jr., a.k.a. Young Driver submitted himself to the troops of the 2nd Marine Brigade at Marine Barracks Domingo Deluana in Barangay Sanga- Sanga, Bongao, Tawi-Tawi at 9 a.m. of the same day.
“A.k..a. Young Driver handed over one Cal. 30 Garand rifle to Col. Arturo Rojas, the Commander of the Joint Task Force Tawi-Tawi. He was involved in the attempted abduction of the American-Nigerian Guest Professor of MSU-TCTO identified as Dr. Percival Showers in 2001. He was also involved in an encounter between the troops of the Marine Battalion Landing Team-9 and the LTG/KFRG under the late sub-leader Sakkam Pakam, a.k.a. Last Pangit at Sitio Siola, Barangay Montay-Montay, Bongao sometime on December 2017,” said Lt. Gen. Vinluan, Jr.
The surrendered personality underwent a medical check-up conducted by the Forward Support Medical Team (FSMT-21) after which he was turned-over to the local government unit and was received by Bongao Mayor Jimuel Que.
“The successful operation is attributed to the convergence of the Joint Task Force Tawi-Tawi, the Provincial Police Office, the intelligence operatives, the Ministry of Interior and Local Government, and the peace-loving people of Tawi-Tawi,” said Col. Rojas.
Col. Rojas further said that the troops of the JTF Tawi-Tawi will continue to strengthen collaboration with the different sectors of the government to sustain the peace and tranquility in the province.
