Chief Inspector Roque Merdigia said Aklam was arrested around 4 a.m. after his team swooped down on a house on Cotabato Street in Culiat village.

“Aklam is a Malaysian national affiliated with international terrorists,” Merdigia said.

“He stands accused of kidnapping and frustrated murder in a case now pending in a Regional Trial Court in Jolo.”

Merdigia said Aklam was in the Interior and Defense Departments’ list of most-wanted persons.

He said the people who were with Aklam during his arrest “were invited for verification.”
