MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, Feb. 17 (PIA) -- An army official has underscored the need for special courts to improve the security in the province.
The establishment of special courts is one of the recommendations raised by Col. Daniel Lucero, commanding officer of the 103rdInfantry Brigade during the recent Lanao del Sur People’s Consultative Assembly.
Lucero, who presented the updates on peace and security situation in the province, said the fear of local judges and law enforcers on rido (family feud) is one of the major stumbling block in imposing law and order in this part of the country.
The special courts will help insulate our judges from rido, he said.
Although there is a significant improvement in terms of security in the province but more has to be done, he stressed.
Aside from the setting-up of special courts, Lucero also recommended the assignment of a representative from the Department of Justice in the Joint Task Force Ranao.
The brigade commander also reiterated the need to aggressively serve standing warrants of arrest
