ZAMBOANGA CITY – A man considered as a healer and imam by the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) and two close aides surrendered to the 45th Infantry Battalion (IB) at the Forward Operating Base of the Philippine Army at Barangay Tugas, Patikul, Sulu, and turned-over two high powered firearms.
Army 11th Division Commander Maj. Gen Corelito Vinluan said the three surrendered to soldiers on Friday, June 19, but declined to identify the alleged imam and his two cohorts.
