Municipal and barangay officials, among them traditional Moro datus, who helped plot the entrapment operation confirmed to reporters on Saturday that the 27-year-old suspect, Jassim Badar Alkadra, is now detained, awaiting prosecution for violation of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.

Ranking officials of intelligence units under the Army’s 6th Infantry Division and the police in the adjoining Maguindanao del Sur and Maguindanao del Norte, both in the Bangsamoro region, told reporters that Alkadra is in their lists of illegal drug traffickers sharing fractions of their earnings to remaining members of the Dawlah Islamiya who have not availed yet of 6th ID’s reconciliation program for violent religious extremists.
