On December 6, Task Force Marawi arrested another suspect linked to the bombing attack in an operation in Barangay Dulay Proper in Marawi City. The suspect was identified as Jaafar Gamo Sultan, alias “Kulot.”

Authorities believe that persons of interest named earlier in the case, Kadapi Mimbesa, alias “Engineer,” and Arsani Membesa, alias “Lapitos,” planned the attack at Sultan’s residence.

During Sultan’s arrest, authorities said that they had confiscated a grenade in his possession and that he knew about the bombing attack all along. Sultan is now facing charges of harboring a criminal and illegal possession of explosives.

Meanwhile, according to the spokesperson, Mimbesa and Membesa have a standing warrant of arrest for murder.

Aside from the recently arrested individuals, the police also revealed the faces of two more persons of interest believed to have transported the bag containing the bomb into MSU. 

“We have reasonable ground maliban kay nila Engineer at Lapitos may iba pang involved sa naging pagpasabog sa MSU,” states Fajardo.

The authorities are offering a P1 million reward for anyone who can reveal information or their identities to the police.
