Police identified the surrenderer as Wanhar A. Sajirin, alias Wanhar, an associate of ASG sub-leader Mujir U. Yadah.

Sajirin turned himself in to the Regional Intelligence-9 headquarters in Camp Batalla. He yielded a .45 caliber pistol.


Yadah is detained at the Sulu Provincial Jail in Jolo, Sulu following his arrest on June 17, 2022 for kidnapping in Davao del Norte.

Sajirin figured in an encounter with the military in Sitio Kan Alas, Patikul, Sulu in 2018 where 10 persons were killed. Four of them were members of the Abu Sayyaf, including Taha Sawadjaan, the younger brother of ASG sub-leader Hatib Hajan Sawadjaan.

Sajirin served as the errand boy of Mundi Sawadjaan in 2020 and was included in the PSR by end of the year.
