Sumasailalim ang suspek sa interogasyon matapos siyang maaresto.
“Jaafar’s arrest was a product of a well-coordinated action involving units of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group from National Capitol Region, the Naval Intelligence and Surveillance Group, the Regional Public Safety Battalion, and intelligence operatives of the Zamboanga City Police Office,” ayon pa kay Beltran.
Sinabi naman ni Zamboanga City ditector Senior Supt. Luisito Magnaye, na matagal nang nagtatago si Jaafar sa Cawit.
