"We ask the New People’s Army for the immediate release of our fellow police officers as they are also, like ordinary people have their own family to look into," Mayor said in a statement.

"Just like all citizens, these policemen deserve the guaranteed right to life and liberty. These police officers are but citizens who are working for the improvement of the standard of living of the people in Region 10," he added.
