Two more alleged members of the notorious Nadera gun-for-hire group were arrested Monday by police operatives in Sitio Paradise 3, Barangay Kinasang-an, Cebu City.
-
The suspects were identified as alias Rostom, 25, a resident of Barangay Kinasang-an, and alias Kian, 18, from Middle Tabucanal, Barangay Pardo, Cebu City. A witness positively identified the two as accomplices of alias Jerson, another member of the Nadera group the police arrested recently.
According to Police Lieutenant Colonel Maria Theresa Macatangay, Deputy City Director for Operations and spokesperson of Cebu City Police Office, Rostom and Kian acted as spotters for Jerson, who allegedly shot alias Rodolfo on March 22, 2025.
The arrests follow the recent presentation of other members of the Nadera gun-for-hire group and the Gido gun-for-hire group to the media. PRO-7 regional director Police Brigadier General Redrico Maranan said these groups were responsible for 10 shooting incidents in Cebu.
