BUTUAN CITY – Police have apprehended one of the most wanted New People’s Army (NPA) rebels in the Caraga Region, an official said Thursday.

Brig. Gen. Alan Nazarro, director of the Police Regional Office-Caraga (PRO-13), identified the rebel as “Rudy Amara,” 31, the vice commanding officer of the weakened NPA Guerrilla Front 30.

The arrest took place on Tuesday in Carmen, Surigao del Sur.

‘Amara faces six counts of murder, five counts of frustrated murder, three counts of attempted murder, and a charge of slight illegal detention,’ Nazarro said.

Amara is listed as the region’s second top communist priority target and the second most wanted person.
