Colonel Robert Daculan, Lanao del Sur police director, has assured residents of Marogong that government security forces are in control of the situation in the town amid a recent threat of violence by Islamic State-linked Dawlah Islamiyah militants.
An incident report on Monday prepared by Dr. Nasser Alimoda, Marogong municipal health officer, noted that DI leader Fajarudin Pumbaya Pangalian, alias Commander Zacariah, sent word through the two-way radio network urging residents to return to their homes “as he pledged not to involve the civilians and implying that there will be no war/battle happening soon.”
The town’s residents started fleeing on Friday when Pangalian issued a threat of violence against the townsfolk after four of his men were arrested by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and turned over to the Army, including their seized firearms. Alimoda said the town’s municipal disaster risk reduction and management office counted 3,500 families, or some 21,000 people, who fled their homes, about 70% of its population.
