AGENTS of the National Bureau of Investigation-Iligan District Office rescued a minor and arrested her stepmother and nine other men accused of abducting her in Marawi City.
According to the NBI-ILDO, the victim’s cousin filed a complaint before them, saying Rohaima Pamudawan forcibly abducted the minor from their house in Purok Mangga, Bgy. Tubod, Iligan City.
The NBI-ILDO immediately conducted an investigation.
On February 6, NBI-ILDO operatives have tracked down the location of the victim and the suspects. They learned that the complainant and the suspects are close relatives.
The NBI men asked the help of the Maranao local traditional leaders and community elders for the immediate and safe release of the victim.
NBI-ILDO, together with the negotiating team and Municipal Social Worker, were able to convince the suspects to release the minor-victim.
The victim was brought to the NBI-ILDO office and was re-assessed and debriefed by the City Social Worker personnel of Iligan City before she was turned over to her immediate family.
Kidnapping and serious illegal detention charges are being readied for filing in court against Pamudawan and her alleged cohorts.
