MANILA, Philippines—The Sultan of Sulu denied reports that his brother Rajah Muda was arrested by Malaysian authorities.

Abraham Idjirani, spokesperson of the sultan of Sulu, said the royal family was able to talk to Rajah Muda, who is leading a group of armed men who have been in Sabah since February 12 to stake an ancestral territorial claim.

“We talked to him. He is well. He is not wounded and he is still leading the struggle,” Idjirani said.  With Ruel Perez, Radyo Inquirer 990AM
