Tuburan Police Chief and 5 Officers killed

COTABATO CITY — At least ten armed men killed a town police chief and five of his men in an ambush in Mabel village in Malabang, Lanao del Sur at 3 p.m. Monday.

Chief Superintendent Akmad Mamalinta, Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) police chief, identified the slain town police chief as SP04 Corias Tambugao of Tuburan town police command.

Mamalinta said Tambugao and his men were onboard a police car from Camp SK Pendatun to Tuburan when attacked.

The ARMM police chief added the ambush could be a result of “rido” or family feud as Tambugao was involved in a killing of a relative of one of the suspects months ago.
