Two policemen were abducted by an armed group while heading back to the Loreto Municipal Police Station in Loreto town, Agusan del Sur, Sunday evening.
PSupt. Martin M. Gamba, in an interview Tuesday morning, identified the abducted victims as Police Officer 2 Ronald Allan Munez and PO1 Lemuel Espana. The two, according to Gamba, responded to an alarm regarding a hacking incident in Sitio Molo, Barangay Poblacion, Loreto town and were heading back to their station around 11:15 p.m. when six heavily armed suspects abducted them.
The armed group, according to Gamba, were believed to be members of the CPP-NPA Guerilla Front 34, who were known to operate in the area. Until this time, there were no ransom demands nor conditions received by their families nor the police.
Gamba said the provincial police office already formed a crisis management committee at the municipal level to deal with the situation. Attempts of negotiations for the immediate release of the victims are now being conducted, Gamba said. The police and the military in the region are presently conducting a rescue operation for the two abducted cops.
