TUBIGON, Bohol- Two armed men suspected to be the surviving Abu Sayyaf bandits in Bohol were arrested on Thursday morning in Tubigon town.
PO2 Ronald Manlangit, desk officer of Tubigon Police Station , said the two men, both armed, were sighted at 5 a.m. on Thursday in Barangay Tan-awan searching for food.
Undercover military men and barangay tanods arrested the two men.
“It’s still subject for verification if they are Abu Sayyaf members,” said Manlangit.
Tan-awan is 7 kilometers from the commercial center of Tubigon, which adjoins Clarin town where four ASG members including sub-leader Joselito Melloria were killed on April 22.
At 10 a.m. today, the armed men were brought to Camp Francisco Dagohoy in Tagbilaran City.
