The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Tuesday filed before the Cagayan De Oro Regional Trial Court a case for rebellion against two arrested Abu Sayyaf members believed to have provided medical treatment to wounded terrorists fighting government troops in Marawi City.
Facing a case for rebellion are Jadzrie Harad Saabdula and Jamal Kalib Jamil. The two have been subjected to an inquest proceeding over the weekend.
The inquest was conducted inside Camp Evangelista where the arrested suspected members and supporters of the Maute group are detained.
Saabdula, 50, a nurse at the Banguingui (former Tongkil town) municipal hospital who went on absence without leave, is the brother of slain Abu Sayyaf leader Nadzmi Saabdula alias Commander Global.
Saabdula and Jamil were arrested last Thursday while they were purchasing bulk of assorted medicines at a pharmacy in Pagadian City, Zamboanga del Sur.
The case was filed at CDO because it was the special court designated by the Supreme Court to handle cases against members and supporters of the Maute group. JE/rga
