KOTA KINABALU: The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) reported Tuesday the arrest of Abu Sayyaf member Abdullah D Addi for his involvement in the abduction of 21 hostages at Sipadan Island resort in Sabah, Malaysia in 2000.

Addi and his companions brought the hostages to the group’s base in Jolo, Sulu .

He was arrested in Zamboanga City last month based on a warrant for kidnapping and serious illegal detention, the report said.

When it comes to skincare, the first thought on our minds would be beauty products such as serums, creams, and masks. However, beauty experts and even researchers have stated that drinking more water can be just as crucial for your skin's health.
According to NBI officials, another Abu Sayyaf member identified as Aluyudan Ismael Guru was also nabbed for the same criminal offences last Thursday in Panay City in Manila.

He was said to have been recognized as a guard by one of the victims of the Golden Harvest Plantation kidnapping in 2001.

NBI said the suspect was involved in the Marawi Siege in 2017 and was tapped to help the “largely ethnic Yakan group” of former Abu Sayyaf leader Isnilon Hapilon enter Marawi City.

Abu Sayyaf has used terror for profit and to promote its jihadist agenda, according to the US National Counterterrorism Center.
