Jakarta. The National Police has received information from its Philippine counterpart about the arrest of Indonesian national Minhati Madrais, the wife of Omar Khayyam Maute, along with her six children on Sunday (05/11) at the Steele Makers Village in Tubod, Illigan City, Philippines, a police official said.

"Minhati Madrais is an Indonesian national from Bekasi [West Java] and is the wife of one of Maute group’s leaders, Omar Khayyam Maute, who was previously killed during a military operation in Marawi," National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Setyo Wasisto told the Jakarta Globe.

According to Cagayan de Oro Police, Minhati and her children – four daughters and two sons – were captured Sunday morning by a joint team comprising members of the Philippine Armed Forces (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP), Setyo said.

The team seized four blasting caps, two detonation cords and one time fuse at the residence where Minhati and her children were staying. Officials also seized Minhati's expired Indonesian passport.

Mihnati and her children are currently being interrogating by at the Illigan City police station, Setyo confirmed.

"Densus 88 plans to conduct a follow up in coordination with Philippine authorities," the general said, referring to one of Indonesia's elite counter-terrorism unit.

AFP chief Gen. Eduardo Año confirmed in October the death of Omar Maute and Isnilon Hapilon, both high profile Islamic State-affiliated militants, during a firefight.

President Rodrigo Duterte announced the liberation of Marawi City from IS-linked militants shortly after news of the deaths of Maute and Hapilon became public.

The Philippines also granted the Indonesian Embassy in Manila access to interview Muhammad Ilham Syaputra, a militant and alleged Indonesian national, on Friday.

Ilham was arrested in the southern city of Marawi for having links to Islamic State, an official said on Monday (06/11).
