Commander Robot perishes in encounter

A protégé of once popular Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) commander Ghalib Andang, alias Commander Robot, was killed in an encounter with a group of policemen in Maimbung, Sulu.

Chief Supt. Agrimero Cruz, Jr., spokesman of the Philippine National Police (PNP), said slain Abu Sayyaf man Juri Hamsiraji has even assumed the leadership of a small group of bandits operating in Maimbung town and nearby areas.

“The group that he was leading is remnant of the large group of Commander Ghalib Andang, alias Commander Robot,” said Cruz.

Andang, it was recalled, was killed along with several other bandits when elite police forces stormed a maximum detention facility in Taguig where the detainees were able to grab the control of the area.
The popular ASG leader lost both his legs in a clash in Mindanao where he was captured.
