The Sandiganbayan’s Sixth Division has found basis to try the graft, malversation and falsification cases against former Maguindanao OIC Gov. Sajid Ampatuan and six others in connection with the purchase of more than P72 million construction materials for school building repair from allegedly fictitious suppliers in 2009.

In a resolution dated May 8, the court ordered the issuance of arrest warrants against Ampatuan, then-provincial accountant John Estelito Dollosa Jr., services officer Kasan Macapendeg, who was then-chairman of the Bids and Awards Committee (BAC) and then-BAC members Osmena Bandila (then-provincial treasurer); Norie Unas (former provincial administrator); Datu Ali Abpi; Al Haj (then-provincial engineer) and Landap Guinaid (former OIC-provincial engineer) who was killed in an ambush in 2016.
