GenSan trader abducted

ZAMBOANGA CITY — Five armed men seized a prawn farm and restaurant owner in Alabel, Sarangani Tuesday afternoon, the military said.

Lt. Gen. Roy Cimatu, Armed Forces’ Southern Command chief, said Clemente Juson, operator of Edita Prawn Farm and Italian Pizza in General Santos City, was driving his Mitsubishi Lancer when the armed men blocked his path in Sitio Ladol, Barangay Kawas.

At gunpoint, the armed men ordered Juson to disembark. They took him away aboard a red Suzuki motorcycle, which was escorted by another motorbike.

Elements of Task Force General Santos City are now tracking down the kidnappers.

Cimatu said the abductors have not yet relayed any ransom demand. — Roel Pareño
