Nasser Amil, the brother of Vidzfar Amil, Commission on Elections-Sulu Provincial Election Supervisor, died Saturday afternoon, Dec. 21, after sustaining a bullet wound in the head in an ambush in Zamboanga City.
Vidzfar, who was also in the vehicle and believed to be the target of the suspects, lashed out at the perpetrators.
“Mga duag. Kong matapang kayo magpakilala kayo kong sino kayo para wala madamay ibang tao, buhay pa ako mga duag,” said Vidzar in a Facebook post.
(Cowards. Identify yourselves if you are brave so that others would not get into trouble. I am still alive you cowards)
The Comelec denounced the ambush.
“No words are enough to condemn this treacherous act of violence against our people. What is more gruesome and unforgivable is when a loved one is caught in the crossfire so to speak,” said Comelec Chairperson George Garcia.
Vidfzar, 51, and Nasser, 57, were onboard a car when gunmen fired at the back of their vehicle.
Vidzfar and their driver were unscathed.
