Citing intelligence sources, The Star reported that Susukan has been able to move freely after surrendering to Misuari in April 2020.
According to the PNP, Susukan was recently brought to Davao City for "medical attention." When the local police found out, they initiated the negotiation with Misuari.
The warrants of arrest included 23 cases for murder, 5 for kidnapping and serious illegal detention, and 6 for frustrated murder.
Susukan will undergo a medical checkup at the Camp Quintin Merecido Hospital before being turned over to the Armed Forced of the Philippines in Camp Aguinaldo. – Rappler.com
