P1.7M shabu seized from Dawlah Islamiya-linked dealers in Marawi
On Saturday, August 2, police seized P1.7 million worth of shabu from two drug dealers linked to the Dawlah Islamiya terror group during an entrapment operation in Marawi City.
The suspects, Abdul Manao Indao Gandamra and Saidamin Darimbang Andamun, surrendered peacefully after selling 250 grams of shabu to undercover operatives.
Local officials and traditional Maranao leaders claim the suspects shared drug profits with Dawlah Islamiya leaders who harbor criminals in exchange for money.

Intelligence units are investigating claims that the suspects have ties to recent bombings in Central Mindanao.
