Troopers
of the Eastern Mindanao Command together with the local police have
successfully arrested Felix Armodia, a New People's Army (NPA) Front Secretary
operating in Davao Del Sur, South Cotabato and North Cotabato, during
operations in Barangay San Roque, Tampakan, South Cotabato
Friday afternoon.
This
took place around 12:45 p.m., Eastern Mindanao Command spokesperson Capt.
Alberto Caber said.
He
added that the arrested rebel is responsible for the series of attacks on
plantations and construction firms in the region which refused to give in to
their extortion demands.
Armodia's
arrest was made after a concerned civilian tipped authorities about the
latter's location.
The
NPA leader is wanted for murder, robbery with violence, and illegal detention
among others. He is now locked up at Digos
City
Meanwhile,
Eastern Mindanao Command head Lt. Gen. Ricardo Rainier G. Cruz III, lauded the
residents and the security forces involved in the arrest of Armodia.
“There
shall be no let-up of pursuit operations against those responsible in the
series of attacks to civilians and civilian properties in Eastern
Mindanao . The public is now aware that their role in peace and
security in the region is vital to the success of the security
operations," he added.
