COTABATO CITY -- Police authorities in North Cotabato on Thursday killed two suspected drug couriers who resisted arrest during anti-drug operations at around 2 p.m. in Pikit town.

Chief Inspector Romy Castanares, chief of Pikit Municipal Police Office, said Edzrapel Dima and Bashir Maniling, both residents of nearby Pagalungan, Maguindanao opened fire on lawmen out to arrest them for allegedly selling methamphetamine hydrochloride.

According to Castanares, the police have received a tip from residents of Barangay Batulawan, also in Pikit, about the two men peddling shabu to minors in the village.

They were included in the police drug watchlist, according to Castanares.

A police officer posed as a buyer and secured several sachets of shabu from Dima and Maniling while other police officers closed in. The duo, both armed with hand gun and automatic pistol, opened fire on police authorities, triggering a shootout.

Castanares said the Pikit police personnel were out to arrest the two alive, but they refused and continued firing at law enforcers.
Hit in different parts of their body, the two were rushed by police to a hospital in Poblacion Pikit, but were declared dead upon arrival by attending doctors.

Recovered from the suspects were a 9mm pistol and a mini-Uzi submachine gun.

In nearby Tulunan town, police also arrested Joel Ambid, 27 and resident of Barangay Maybula for trafficking illegal drugs.

Ambid voluntarily surrendered to police last year and vowed to do away with illegal drugs.

Charges of violation of RA 9165 had been filed against the suspect now detained at Tulunan PNP lock-up cell.(PNA)
