ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines – Two German nationals who went missing off Palawan were confirmed to be held captive by the Abu Sayyaf in Sulu province, according to a state college professor.
Professor Octavio Dinampo of the Mindanao State University (MSU) in Sulu said his informants confirmed the report that the German nationals were being held by the bandits.
He said Stefan Viktor Okonek, 71, and his female companion, Herike Diesen, 55, were forcibly taken from their yacht at Rio Tubbataha, an hour’s ride from Puerto Princesa in Palawan.
“They were taken from the yacht and then transferred to a Volvo speedboat by Jihad Susukan,” Dinampo said.
He said Susukan alias Iddang is the younger brother of the slain Abu Sayyaf leader Mujib Susukan.
According to Dinampo, the group of Susukan with their captive Germans arrived April 14 at Sitio Sangay, Barangay Buhanginan but later moved out to evade the Marine company detachment near the area.
He said the bandits and their hostages went to Barangay Kabuntakas, an area where the group of senior Abu Sayyaf leader Radulan Sahiron is encamped in the jungles near Patikul town.
“That’s where the victims were united with the two other European captives. That’s why they were called ‘jungle mates’ according to my informants,” Dinampo said.

ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines – A Chinese businessman and his Malaysian associate who were seized four days ago in Lahad Datu, Sabah, Malaysia are being held by suspected Abu Sayyaf bandits in Sulu, according to a peace advocate.
“It’s confirmed that Yang Zai Lin and Konur Resowan were brought to Kabbun Takas,” said Octavio Dinampo, a professor of the Mindanao State University (MSU) Sulu, citing a tip from an “informant.”
Dinampo said the kidnappers, together with their two captives, arrived in Kabbun Takas, Patikul town Wednesday night.
The group of Abu Sayyaf senior leader Radulan Sahiron is believed to be holding camp in Kabbun Takas.
Yang, 34, manager of the Wonderful Terrace Sdn
Fish Farm owned by a Hong Kong-based national, and Resowan were reportedly snatched by five armed
men aboard a speedboat at their
fish farm in Pulau Baik off Silam, Lahad Datu on Tuesday morning.
Malaysian authorities who gave chase said the kidnappers later transferred to a pumpboat with a more powerful
engine and engaged their pursuers in a brief shootout before making good their escape toward the direction of Sulu.
The kidnapping was the second in Malaysia in a span of 35 days by suspected Abu Sayyaf bandits. Earlier, another Chinese, Gau Huayuan, 29, and Filipina resort worker Marcelita Dayawan, 40, were seized in a resort off Semporna. The two are believed also being held in Sulu.
Authorities have also confirmed that the Abu Sayyaf is also holding captive two German nationals – Stefan Viktor Okonek, 71, and her female companion, Herike Diesen, 55 – who were snatched from their yacht off Palawan last month.
