Complaint Review: Muslimin Sema

COTABATO CITY - Operatives of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) have arrested Muslimin G Sema and Bai Sandra Sinsuat Sema for illegal possession of prohibited drugs in a buy bust operations Thursday afternoon.  Supt. Edwin Layese, PDEA-ARMM regional director, said Muslimin G Sema and Bai Sandra Sinsuat Sema were charged for possession of prohibited drugs and shabu.  "The rest were released for lack of substantial evidence that would warrant their inclusion in the charge sheet," Layese told reporters.  The raid, jointly conducted by PDEA-ARMM operatives, Cotabato City PNP and Philippine Marines, was conducted in Barangay Poblacion 2, Cotabato City.  The suspects were caught flat footed when the raiding team, armed with search warrants, swooped down on a house where a pot session was on going at about 4 p.m.  The house where the suspects were found was an ordinary house that looked like a carenderia where people dropped by to eat.  "This time, its the shabu users that dropped by and join the pot session," Layese said, adding that 56 sachet of methamphetamine hydrochloride were seized from the suspects.  "And what is disturbing was the presence of passenger jeepney drivers who dropped by the house and took part in the session then resume driving," he said.  Layese lauded the unidentified informant who tipped off the PDEA.  The suspects Muslimin G Sema and Bai Sandra Sinsuat Sema are now detained at PDEA-ARMM detention cell
