The suspect was arrested on Jalan Tatah Bangkal, South Banjarmasin District, Banjarmasin City on February 12, 2022. Zaenal, who represents the Director of Drug Investigation at the South Kalimantan Police, Kombes Pol Tri Wahyudi, said that the war on drug trafficking will continue to be carried out so that the movement of the trafficker network can be narrowed and the business of illicit goods can be suppressed. .

Meanwhile, for victims of abusers, Zaenal appealed to immediately follow the rehabilitation program carried out by the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) in all regions.

"If all these addicts recover, then the drugs will not be sold in the market by themselves. Therefore, it is important to cut off this demand so that the supply from the dealer network also stops," he also said.
