A report from PNP Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Regional Director Chief Supt. Bienvenido Latag said that Noraldin Yusoph, the son of Comelec Commissioner Elias Yusoph, was abducted on Sunday at about 9:30 a.m. at the Bato Ali Mosque in Barangay Sabala Amanao, Marawi City.
Latag said that initial reports showed that Noraldin was praying inside the mosque when several armed men forcibly took him.
The suspects were supposedly demanding for the annulment of votes in the municipalities of Malabang, Picong, Taraka and Masiu in Lanao del Sur, Lantag said.
He said that the Lanao del Sur Provincial Police Office is conducting intelligence monitoring to locate the victim.
Yusoph confirmed the kidnapping but refused to elaborate any further. He said that the National Bureau of Investigation is also investigating the matter. —VS
