LAHAD DATU: The Eastern Sabah Security Command (ESSCom) has added four more suspects in the wanted list for their involvement in cross-border crimes in the Eastern Sabah Security Zone (ESSZone).
They are Ellam Sajirin @ Nasirin, Ismuran Jirah, Tista Hussein and Ahadin Hussein.
The four people were involved in the kidnapping of three Indonesians from Tambisan on September 23, 2019.
ESSCom commander Datuk Ahmad Fuad Othman said during an interview with RTM that the threat posed by the kidnap-for-ransom and Abu Sayaf Group from a neighbouring country still exist.
“However, several attempts of kidnap for ransom were successfully botched by the joint operation of the Malaysia Army, Royal Malaysian Police and the Malaysia Maritime Enforcement Agency along the east coast of Sabah,” he said.
He also said that the ESSCom intelligence had also detected several attempts by the Abu Sayaf Group to enter Sabah.
“For example, the arrest of eight Abu Sayaf Group members and the killing of five of the group members in Beaufort during the early and mid of May, 2021,” he said.
He shared that the ESSCom Intelligence Division has its own strategy to address both threats.
