A local terrorist group sub-leader submitted himself to the military at 9:30 a.m., July 14, 2020.

Abdullah Lumzed Arumpac, a.k.a. Afghan, also yielded his Caliber 5.56mm AR15 M16A1 Rifle with one short magazine and 20 rounds of ammunition at the 103rd Brigade headquarters in Kampo Ranao, Marawi City.
