ZAMBOANGA CITY – Anti-narcotics agents arrested a man in a sting operation here that resulted in the confiscation of about 2.5 kilograms of crystal meth smuggled from Malaysia into the southern Filipino port city of Zamboanga.
Al-Jhmer Jakilan, a native of nearby Basilan province, did not resist arrest when agents identified themselves following a payoff. The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) on Monday confirmed the arrest and said it is still investigating Jakilan, who allegedly confessed smuggling the drugs here.
It was not immediately known whether Jakilan, a former security guard, also supplied the illegal drugs in Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi, and in Zamboanga Peninsula. He is currently under tight security at the PDEA headquarters in Zamboanga City. (Mindanao Examiner)
