Abu Suffian, who is believed to be the husband of Jasmiyah offered stiff resistance to the lawful search and engaged the police team in a firefight. He was armed with a cal.45 pistol and a hand grenade. Jasmiyah, however, managed to escape.
The raiding team recovered a 60mm high-explosive mortar projectile, IED components, and a motorcycle.
Six minor children were rescued from the area of encounter while another woman found in the house was placed under custody.
Police records identified Abu Suffian as a member of the Dawlah Islamiya who attended IED training in 2015 in Barangay Butril Palimbang, Sultan Kudarat under the late Mohammad Jaafar Maguid a.k.a. Tokboy Maguid of the Ansar al-Khilafah Philippines (AKP).

He escaped the military-police operation in Marawi City along with some widows of fallen jihadists and sought refuge in Maguindanao.
Lately, he is operating under Salahuddin Hassan and IED expert Abu Naim, under the direct supervision of Abu Turaife of the DI-BIFF for whom he was purchasing IED components and medical supplies.
