BARMM Interior Minister Naguib Sinarimbo says at least 10 suspects in the Lanao del Sur ambush have been identified.
CAGAYAN DE ORO, Philippines – Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao interim Chief Minister Ahod Balawag “Murad” Ebrahim has ordered the Moro Islamic Liberation Front to help authorities in investigating and catching those behind the February 17 ambush that killed four men and wounded Lanao del Sur Governor Mamintal Adiong Jr.
Ebrahim, as the leader of the MILF, played a crucial role in the 2014 political settlement with the government, a landmark agreement which paved the way for the creation of the new autonomous Muslim-majority region in Mindanao. Currently, Ebrahim is now overseeing its development and progress. During a closed-door meeting in Cagayan de Oro, Sinarimbo briefed the Adiong family on the initial findings of the investigation into the ambush.
“We know who these suspects are. It would be better for them to surrender peacefully,” Sinarimbo said. After undergoing surgery to remove a slug from his right hip, he requested pancakes and a cup of coffee for breakfast, much to the delight of his family.
