Authorities arrested two alleged members of the Citizen Armed Force Geographical Unit (CAFGU) for allegedly selling guns illegally in Cotabato City.

Operatives of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group-Bangsamoro Autonomous Region (CIDG-BAR) arrested the suspects identified as alias “Buds” and alias “Boy” in a buy-bust operation.

Recovered from the suspects’ car were a caliber .9mm firearm and two magazines.

The two are now detained at the detention facility of CIDG-BAR and will face charges for violation of the Comprehensive Law on Firearms and Ammunition (RA 10591).

GMA Regional TV One Mindanao is trying to reach out to the Philippine Army for comment, as of this writing.
