Samsul Sagunim, 40, and Usman Yunus, 35, were on their fishing vessel when they were taken by armed kidnappers off the coast of Semporna at about 1am on Sept 11. On the arrest of 13 policemen previously attached to the Kota Belud district police station who were accused of accepting bribes over a period of five years since 2014, Omar said the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) was welcome to continue such raids.
