AN undetermined number of armed men swooped down at around 5:00 in the morning of June 30 in Brgy. Sta. Teresa, Loreto, Agusan del Sur and gathered around 70 male residents at Sta. Teresa Elementary School.
The said armed group hogtied Brgy. Kagawad Edgar Bantuasan and forcibly brought him at Sitio Cabuga of said barangay on board a motorcycle for he was suspected as a military informant, police reports said.
The lawless elements demanded for the withdrawal of PNP and AFP troops in the area in exchange for the release of Kagawad Bantuasan.
Loreto police together with the Armed Forces of the Philippines are now conducting pursuit operations against the said suspects and to rescue the victim.
Furthermore, the armed men threatened the residents to be assassinated/liquaidated if they will continue to support the government troops.
Municipal Crisis Management Committee is being convened to handle said situation.
