PANGUTARAN, Sulu - Election watchers
Alfrashier Tarang, Albian Jamjahari and Janib Jamjahari were denied of a police
blotter on election related incident after they were harassed by armed group
led by Nasser Tandih, an alleged kidnap for ransom group member and expert in
making bombs in Barangay Tonggasang last May 13, 2019 in a recently conducted
Midterm elections, here.
In a
media interview the complainants, said they took refuge to the Municipal Police
Station of Pangutaran particularly to chief of Police Captain Christopher Dela
Vega Jr.
They
said his group being the watcher of Pangutaran mayoralty candidate Salam Asta went
to the area to prepare for the conduct of elections but instead before reaching
the polling precinct they were asked by the armed group to discuss some matters
and later to go back and not to proceed and do their task but instead offer
some amount of money.
“Nasser
told us to go back or accept the money for them to pity their family if they
insist in doing their task”. Heated arguments then occurred which the group of
watchers took videos for documentation but the armed group took the cellphone
and break it but other watchers managed to take pictures of the incident.
The
group then proceeded to the police station purposely to make a police blotter
with regards to the incident.
Later
the group went back to the police station to ask for the extract of the police
blotter which Dela Vega told them that police investigator Darwin Sarihani
won’t sign the police blotter with no apparent reasons and denied them of the
police blotter.
The
complainants are seeking assistance from concern agencies to help them secure
police blotter for them to file action against those armed group which broke
his mobile phone and threatened their lives. (By Ric Clet)
