| [Inquirer] After more than a year in captivity, Jed Quimbo, son of Labason Mayor Eddie Quimbo, was freed by the Abu Sayyaf in Patikul town, Sulu. Police regional director Emmanuel Licup said Quimbo was freed around on Sunday afternoon, in the vicinity of Anuling village. Quimbo was abducted in September, 2017, in Labason by six unidentified men who forced him to board a van. Licup said Quimbo was released by the Abu Sayyaf in Patikul and later, was handed over to his brother Justin. “Mister Justin Quimbo was together with former Governor Abdusakur Tan. The kidnap victim was presented to officer-in-charge of the Joint Task Force Sulu at the residence of Tan,” Licup said citing a report from the Sulu Provincial Police Office. |
