He said the SITG Bonita filed multiple frustrated murder charges on Friday against the suspect.
Chief Supt. Eliseo Rasco, PRO-12 regional director, had tagged the South Cotabato-based Nilong Group as behind the attack.
The Nilong Group, which reportedly originated and previously based in Barangay Lumakil in Polomolok, South Cotabato, emerged two years ago after being linked by authorities to a robbery, illegal drug trafficking, gun-for-hire and other criminal activities in the area.
The group was allegedly allied with Sarangani-based terror group Ansar Al-Khilafah Philippines (AKP), which was part of the local network of the Islamic State-inspired Maute Group.
Rasco confirmed that the group had merged with the remnants of the AKP, whose leader, Tokboy Maguid, was killed in an encounter with joint operatives in Kiamba, Sarangani in January last year.||| |||buy spiriva online with |||
As to the motive of the blast, the official said it could have been due to a “personal grudge,” specifically a family-related conflict involving the lying-in clinic’s owner. (MindaNews)
