Police Mayor Anderson Alberto Hernández Villar, 38, has been kidnapped while visiting his father in Cúcuta. Reportedly, the ELN would have the uniformed man in its possession.
Hernández Villar, with more than 20 years of service in the National Police and currently assigned to the CAI of the Mutis neighborhood of the Bucaramanga Metropolitan Police (Mebuc), disappeared 26 days ago on the border between Cúcuta and Venezuela.
On May 18, while enjoying his vacation, he decided to visit his father in the border state of Táchira.
Mariela Villar, mother of the mayor, expressed her anguish and concern: “They haven’t told me anything, they haven’t given it back to me. They already called the father and told him that the ELN has him on the border. The only thing I ask of you is that you respect my life.”
On the day of the kidnapping, Hernández Villar was traveling on his motorcycle with his partner, a Venezuelan citizen. They had agreed to meet in the La Parada sector, in the municipality of Villa del Rosario, Norte de Santander, before heading to Táchira.
However, they were intercepted by armed individuals who took the mayor away.
According to the police report, Hernández Villar’s girlfriend reported that he was put on a truck along with his motorcycle, while they let her go to report what happened.
Initially, the situation was not reported until Mariela Villar informed the authorities in San Gil on May 28.
Authorities continue to investigate the kidnapping of Mayor Anderson Alberto Hernández Villar, while his family and colleagues await his soon return.
