‘Drug trafficker’ held in Maguindanao raid

COTABATO CITY, Philippines – Anti-narcotics agents arrested an alleged driver of a municipal government in Maguindanao whose suspicious ownership of eight vehicles and high-end lifestyle revealed his alleged involvement in drug trafficking.

Operatives of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) yesterday raided the house of Arman Adam and seized P600,000 worth of shabu.

Adam's neighbors in Barangay Capiton, Datu Odin Sinsuat town have long been suspicious of his illegal transactions because he was just a driver for the local government of Mother Kabuntalan town.
