Abdul eluded arrest during pursuit operations conducted by agents of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in June 2020. He later surrendered.

He was also charged with child abuse, but freed when he posted bail.The rape case filed against him was dismissed after his supposed victim did not pursue the case.

Police said the suspect was a known drug dealer in this city and nearby provinces.
