ZAMBOANGA CITY --Authorities have arrested a Jordanian in a law enforcement operation in this southern port city for being an undesirable alien, a police official said Friday.
Maj. Helen Galvez, Police Regional Office (PRO-9) information officer, identified the arrested Jordanian as Mahd Afif Abdeljalil Alkar, who was arrested around 4:12 p.m. Thursday at a hotel in Barangay Zone 3.
Galvez said Alkar's arrest was ordered by Bureau of Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente on July 1, 2019 for illegal entry, as well as for being an undocumented and undesirable alien.
Galvez did not say how long has Alkar been staying in the city, or if he was involved in any illegal activity.
She said Alkar is reportedly married but it was not immediately known whether his wife is a Filipino national.
