LANAO DEL SUR – The fifth most wanted person in Lanao del Sur was killed in a police-military operation in Balabagan town.
This came from a statement from the Western Mindanao Command (WestMinCom), according to a report from GMA News.
WestMinCom commander Lieutenant General Corleto Vinluan Jr. said that the suspect, identified as Jayson Sampiano Deniega, was allegedly involved in multiple murders, drugs, and extortion.
“Jayson Sampiano Deniega, a.k.a. Nonoy, was slain after resisting arrest by the government forces at Sitio Madjar, Barangay Molimoc, Balabagan at 10:10 a.m. Wednesday,”
Marine Battalion Landing Team 5 commanding officer Lieutenant Colonel Tino Maslan said that during the serving of the arrest warrant, Deniega, who was with two unknown cohorts, allegedly attempted to escape arrest.
Deniega then proceeded to initiate a gunfight against authorities, prompting the latter to return fire.
“Deniega incurred gunshot wounds while his cohorts scampered to different directions,”
The suspect was rushed to Dr. Serapio Montañer Hospital in Malabang but was declared dead on arrival. Other troops pursued the two other personalities but they fled.
1st Marine Brigade Brigadier commander General Jonas Lumawag said that he directed the battalion to reinforce the engaged troops and continue to pursue the fleeing lawless personalities.

The said items were turned over to Balabagan Municipal Police Station for proper disposition.
