Felon on board ship arrested in Zamboanga

MANILA: A man wanted for murder was arrested as he was on board a passenger/RoRo vessel in Zamboanga City on Wednesday.

In a statement, the Philippine Coast Guard said Sakib Ganih has an outstanding warrant of arrest for murder with no bail, issued by the Regional Trial Court Branch 4 in Parang, Sulu.

The joint operation of the PCG and the Zamboanga City Police Office Station 11 began Tuesday when the PCG got an intelligence report that Ganih — a resident of Omar, Sulu — boarded a RoRo that departed from Jolo going to Zamboanga City.

‘Joint law enforcement authorities arrested the wanted individual at around 07:25 a.m. He will be transported to the ZCPO Station 11 for appropriate measures,’ it said.
