“This was an intelligence-led operation. The suspect is classified as number nine in the most wanted person list in Tawi-Tawi,” said Dimas.
He said Adingih faces a case of murder, a non-bailable offense.
Dimas added that his men used the arrest warrant issued by Judge Abdulmaid K Muin of the RTC Branch 5 in Bongao, Tawi-Tawi in arresting the suspect, whom he said has been hiding in the past 26 years.
“He evaded arrest for the past 26 years by hiding under the false name of Tatoh Moro,” said Dimas.
The operation was supported by the Anti-Kidnapping Group which took custody of the arrested suspect. Other operating units include the Maritime Group, BASULTA (Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi) Regional Mobile Force Battalion and the Philippine Navy.
Dimas commended the troops for the arrest of Adingih, as he reiterated his support to the law enforcement operation of the territorial police units and he encouraged his men to sustain the fight against terrorism and insurgency.
