BUTUAN
CITY: New People’s Army (npa) rebels
suspected in the abduction of three Surigao del Norte policemen on Saturday
claimed they are also looking into one of the abducted cops for his supposed involvement
in illegal drugs activities.
In
a statement, the NPA said they are likewise concerned with the unbridled proliferation
of illegal drugs, particularly shabu, in Caraga Region.
The
NPA however did not name who the police officer they are talking about.
It
can be recalled that early this month, three policemen were abducted at broad
daylight by armed men suspected to be NPA members.
The
policemen were identified as PO1 Jonrey M. Amper, PO3 Democrito O. Polvorosa
and PO1 Marichel Unclara Contemplo.
Amper
was abducted in Bunyasan, Malimono, while Polvorosa and Contemplo were reported
abducted while on their way to Pungtod, Alegria.
