ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines — Authorities killed a suspected drug personality during an operation, early Sunday Morning, March 25, 2018, in Barangay Dona Cecilia, Sirawai, Zamboanga del Norte.

Armed with search warrant, members of the 42nd Infantry Battalion led by 2Lt. Jessie Jun Ebalan together with the personnel from the Sirawai Municipal Police Station, Regional Mobile Force Battalion, and Zamboanga del Norte Provincial Mobile Force Company, went to the village to implement the order against Julhadi A. Amil.

Major General Roseller G Murillo, commander of the Joint Task Force Zampelan, said instead of cooperating with the law enforcers, Amil reportedly resisted arrest and tried to fight back which resulted to his death.
