By Jong Cadion

PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur (September 29, 2016)- Early dawn this 27th of September 2016, elements of Joint Task Force Sulu together with concerned citizens of Panglima Estino, Sulu conducted strike operations against ASG/KFRG members which resulted to the death of Nixon Muktadil and Brown Muktadil, commonly known as Muktadil brothers, in the vicinity of Tambulian Island, Daungdung, Pata, Sulu in Southern Philippines, military official said.

Western Mindanao Command (WesMinCom) Information Officer Maj. Filemon Tan disclosed that the Muktadil brothers were involved in a series of kidnappings of twenty-six (26) Indonesians and Malaysians at the high seas of the boundaries of Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The kidnap victims were crewmen of five (5) different tugboats who were victims of these KFRG at different instances in the period of six (6) months. These boats ply the said shipping routes to deliver coal and other commercial items.

Major Tan said, the death of the Muktadil brothers is a major blow to the group of ASG Sub-Leader Alhabsy Misaya because they serve as the sea guides and navigators during conduct of kidnapping at the high seas.

Cadavers are being transported to Sulu Provincial Police Office, Camp Asturias, Jolo, Sulu, he added.
