MANILA - The Philippine National Police released on Thursday mug shots of the Indonesian national who was arrested in Marawi City on suspicion of having ties with Islamic State-linked Maute group.

Muhammad Ilham Syahputra was nabbed by police yesterday in Barangay Loksadatu. Authorities said Syahputra's clothes were still drenched at that time as he swam across Lanao Lake in an attempt to flee.

The military said Syahputra claimed dozens of Maute fighters are still hiding in Marawi.

The foreigner was brought to Manila on Thursday and is currently in the custody of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) inside Camp Crame.

The Indonesian arrived in the Philippines upon the invitation of Isnilon Hapilon to take part in the siege. Police recovered a .45 pistol, a grenade, foreign currencies, passport, and mobile phone from him.

Hapilon and Omar Maute, top leaders of Maute group, were killed in a military assault last Oct. 16, a day before the combat operations in Marawi ceased. --report from Henry Atuelan, ABS-CBN News
