AUTHORITIES LAUNCHED a manhunt against seven persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) who escaped from a jail facility of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency Regional Office (PDEA RO) 9 in Zamboanga City on Monday dawn.
The Zamboanga City Police Office (ZCPO) identified the escapees as Wilson Indanan Sahiban, Junjimar Hajili Aiyob, Jimmy Angeles Sahibol, Kerwin Mohammad Abdilla, Albadir Mala Ajijul, Muhajiran Romeo Jumlah and Amil Khan Mahadali Abubasar.
An initial report said a prison guard discovered the jailbreak at around 2:45 a.m. and informed the duty officer about the incident.
Upon inspection, PDEA personnel discovered that only one PDL was inside the facility.
Initial investigation showed the suspects created a tiny hole above the jail's ceiling, which they used to escape.
The PDEA RO 9 and the ZCPO have created tracker teams to locate and arrest the escapees.
The seven suspects were arrested during the May 3 buy-bust in the city's Barangay Mampang, which yielded 21.4 kg. of shabu with an estimated street value of PHP145.5 million.
The PDEA tagged the operation as the biggest drug haul in the Zamboanga Peninsula in recent years. (Christopher Lloyd Caliwan)
