He said Uban and his wife just arrived at the public market on board a red Toyota Vios when two men approached them and opened fire. A closed-circuit television footage of the shooting already spread on social media.
Uban won the elections as the village councilor with the second highest number of votes. He moved to the spot of the number one councilor after the latter took over as village chair, following the killing of Abubakar Abdul, the elected village chair, in January this year, also in Parang. In Ampatuan, Maguindanao del Sur, unidentified gunmen ambushed a village chairperson of Lebak, Sultan Kudarat on Saturday, April 8, after he arrived in town to visit an ailing relative.
Danny Angkay, chairperson of Barangay Salaman, Lebak, Sultan Kudarat and companions were together in a minivan bound for Lebak when attacked by motorcycle riding gunmen along the Cotabato-Isulan national highway. Brig. Gen. Allan Nobleza, director of police regional office in the Bangsamoro, said he had ordered the investigation of the twin incidents that happened during the holy week celebrations.
