A suspected leader of the New People’s Army (NPA) in southern Negros Occidental was arrested Sunday by the police in Ilog, Negros Occidental.
Senior Supt. Milko Lirazan, director of Negros Occidental Police Provincial Office, said Monday that suspect Abraham Villanueva, who is facing arson charges, has been identified as the secretary of the South West Front of the NPA’s Komiteng Rehiyonal-Negros.
While on board a motorcycle, Villanueva, 51, passed by a police checkpoint in Barangay Dancalan, Ilog.
Lirazan said he tried to evade arrest but Ilog policemen led by Inspector Renante Salgado caught up with him after a brief chase.
Police records showed that Villanueva, with aliases of "Tikboy," "Gamay" and "Bods," has been denied bail by San Carlos City Regional Trial Court Judge Kathrine Go for arson charges.
Villanueva is now detained at the Ilog police jail.
