MNLF ibubunyag na ang mga kasabwat ng Abu Sayaff na mga Government Officials

The Moro National Liberation (MNLF) spokesman Emmanuel Fantanilla said they are willing to share information to help the Duterte administration on the involvement of some law enforcer and government officials in the illegal activities of Abu Sayyaf.

“Police and military action against Abu Sayyaf bandits will not address kidnapping…unless their protectors are exposed,” Fontanilla said.

He said kidnapping by Abu Sayyaf bandits involves government assets who pinpoint target areas and personalities.

“Kidnapping has become a lucrative business because the victims, particularly foreigners, pay ransom for the release of their relatives. The ransom runs to millions of dollars,” Fontanilla said. “Everyone who kidnaps, shelters and negotiates for ransom gets his share.”

“The Abu Sayyaf would be hitting two birds with one stone – taking hostages for ransom and at the same time embarrassing President Duterte before the international community,” Fontanilla said.

Fontanilla said police Superintendent Maria Cristina Nobleza and her Abu Sayyaf lover Reneer Lou Dongon could be the key to identifying government officials with links to the Abu Sayyaf.
