The suspect was identified as Pandajar Adona, also known as “Banon”.

Sources say that at least one other accomplice is part of a known home where the kidnappers hung out for three days before carrying out the abduction.

Durete, a chairman of the Southern Mindanao Peace and Order Council, said the information was handed to him at a recent briefing conducted by military officials.
