KOTA KINABALU: Security forces are hoping to seal a ransom-free deal with Filipino abductors who are holding marine police Kons Zakiah Aleip (pic) in the interiors of Jolo Island.

The abductors are not willing to reduce their demand of about 40 million Pesos (RM3mil) to release the policeman, said Federal Internal Security and Public Order director Senior Deputy Comm Datuk Muhammad Fuad Abu Zarim during a visit to the 26-year-old constable’s house in Tenghilan near Tuaran here yesterday.
