Three members of the Abu Sayyaf organisation and six “Islamic Freedom Fighters” from Bangsamoro, according to officials, have turned themselves in to the Philippine army in Mindanao.
A military official said, on Saturday, that the three bandits in the Abu Sayyaf group stationed in Basilan Governorate, and believed that they have ties with bombs and foreign terrorists who surrendered to the naval forces in the western Mindanao in the city of Zambuja.
According to a statement from Senior Lieutenant Chesster Ross Cabalterra, the National Women’s Union’s information officer, Anbero Anikon, also known as Abu Peru, Radwan Jikiri, also known as Abu Baroque, and Abdel-Ghanaian, also known as Abu Jani, all turned themselves in on Friday.
The joint work agents (JTF) – Basilan and NFWM 61 marine group 61 assisted in their surrender.
The group sent the NFWM commander, Admiral Toribio Adassi Junior, two M16 rifles, stores, and ammo.
Capelira said that Ancon, Jikiri and Rajoli were a follower of the leaders of the sub -group, Radzmil, Gunatol, Basil Payali, and Isnilon Habelon, respectively.
In a gunfight with the army on March 25 in the village of Bayas, municipality of Somisip, Basilan, Janlatol, also known as Abu Khubayb, was slain.
When local terrorist organisations loyal to ISIS besieged Marawi in 2017, Huboun—also the East Asian Emir of ISIS—died in a confrontation with government forces.
Still unrestricted, government security officers are always in pursuit of Bieli.
Capelira said that the three men of the group who surrendered were involved in kidnappings and several confrontations with government forces in Basilan, especially in the municipalities of Somisip, Tibo Tibo and Al -Baraka.
The bandits underwent a medical examination at the Camp Najaro General Hospital before they turned into JTF-Basilan for treatment and the possibility of being included in the programs of local authorities.
In the meantime, on Friday in North Cotapo County, six members of the Islamic Freedom Freedom fighters (BIFF) turned themselves in to the Army 90 infantry battalion (90IB).
The commander of 90IB, Lieutenant Collonel Rommel Mondala, claimed in a statement that those who had surrendered were members of the BifF-Kariant faction who had been operating inside the northern Cotabato and Magondanao sectors’ borders.
For reasons of security and to ensure the welfare of the families, Mondala withheld the identity of those who had surrendered.
According to him, BIFF members turned themselves in in collaboration with locals and authorities at 90IB, the advanced command centre in the village of Ladtingan.
The surrenders also handed over five high -strength firearms and a homemade mortar shell with a launch platform and two explosive devices.
Mondala stated, “Today, we also gave it to the mayor Salik.”
In the Philippines, nine members of the “Abu Sayyaf” and “Islamic Freedom” group have surrendered.
