Brig. Gen. Allan Nobleza, police director of the BARMM, has ordered the deployment of more policemen to Marogong town in Lanao del Sur on Monday amid threats of an attack by the Islamic State-linked Dawlah Islamiyah.
His visit and the deployment of more police mobile forces units came after the IS-linked group led by Commander Zacariah, the alias of Fajarudin Pumbaya Pangalian, threatened to launch terror attacks in the town following the arrest of four DI members.
The Philippine Army, on the other hand, continued to track and pursue the DI militants in the outskirts of Marogong town “to prevent them from terrorizing the local population,” according to Lt. Col. Filven Noche, civil-military operations chief of the Army’s 32nd Infantry Battalion.
