“Kalid Andalani Kalaing, a.k.a. Kumander Kalid was arrested by combined elements of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Battalion, Shariff Aguak Municipal Police Station, and 2nd Provincial Mobile Force Company during a checkpoint operation at Lining Patrol Base in Barangay Labu Labu, Shariff Aguak, Maguindanao at about 2:30 p.m. Wednesday,” said Lt. Gen. Corleto Vinluan, Jr. Commander of Western Mindanao Command.
According to Col. Pedro Balisi, Commander of 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade, at the time of his arrest, Kalaing was heading from Cotabato to Isulan, Sultan Kudarat onboard a white Toyota pick-up. He was arrested by virtue of a warrant of arrest docketed under Criminal Case No. 19-5041 for carnapping with homicide issued on June 13, 2019, by Presiding Judge Lorenzo Balo of Branch 19-Isulan.
“With all the positive results of our combined operations, Joint Task Force Central will continue to assist our partners from the police and other law enforcement agencies to deter unlawful activities in our area of operation,” said Maj. Gen. Juvymax Uy, Commander of JTF Central.
Patrol bases were alerted for possible retaliation of Kalaing’s cohorts.
“My congratulations to the troops of JTF Central,” said Lt. Gen. Vinluan, Jr.
“May your multifarious achievements be an inspiration to all as we bolster our serious efforts to defeat the terrorists and lawless elements here in Mindanao,” the commander added.
