Regional police chief Emmanuel Licup said the 47-year old Julficar Ladjahali, of Bongao town, was arrested along with Nixon Imdani, 46, after they allegedly sold methamphetamine hydrochloride also known as “shabu” to anti-narcotics agents in the village of San Jose Gusu.

He said members of the Drug Enforcement Unit also seized six packets of suspected shabu, one .45-caliber pistol and a magazine loaded with 15 ammunition, 25 bullets for 9mm pistol and two magazines for automatic rifle and 10 ammunition.

“The arrested persons are now detained and all the confiscated items will be brought to Zamboanga City Crime Laboratory Office for examination,” Licup said.

Mayor Beng Climaco also reiterated her order to authorities to intensify the government’s anti-drug campaign as she praised the police and other law enforcement agencies for their active role in eradicating illegal drugs here.

Climaco also asked officials of Zamboanga’s 98 villages to submit a checklist detailing security and safety measures in their respective areas. The security checklist was given out during the expanded meeting of the City Peace and Order Council and the City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council on January 31 which Climaco heads.

Village officials are to submit the following: List of notorious personalities or suspected armed groups, list of Barangay Intelligence Network members, list of barangay tanods, list of foreigners staying in the barangay, list of religious leaders and elders and other persons of influence, list of all residents, list of all civic, religious organizations and sectoral groups to include youth groups and LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer), guard system of tanods, list of finger wharves, list of bancas and other water crafts, list of current government projects in the barangays, list of issues and concerns the barangay is facing.

Climaco said checklist is part of the comprehensive security measures that the police, military and all other law enforcement agencies have implemented here following the recent twin suicide bombings at a cathedral in Jolo town in Sulu province and the grenade attack on a mosque in Talon-Talon village here.
