Maca-Antal, according to Padilla, who hails from Balo-i, Lanao del Norte, happened to have the same name as one Mohammad Said a.k.a. Ama Maas who has nine arrest warrants.

Padilla showed photos of Maca-Antal and Ama Maas, who he said look very different.

He added that in 2018, Maca-Antal had been arrested because of a similar case of mistaken identity and was released by the NBI. Also, he said the NBI issued clearances in 2018 and 2019 saying he had no derogatory record.

Also, he noted the elderly Muslim was in Saudi Arabia from 2001 to October 2011 - and could not have been in the Philippines when one of the crimes involving Amah Maas occurred in July 2011.

Besides, he said Ama Maas died in 2016 during a military operation in Sulu.
