Lukas Enembe Strikes Drug Drinking Only Lasts 2 Days, KPK: People Don't Be Provoked

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) revealed that the inactive Papua Governor, Lukas Enembe, had returned to take the medicine prescribed by the doctor. The strike to drink drugs carried out as stated by his attorney only lasted for two days.

"It is true that the suspect LE went on a drug strike. However, it was only on Monday and Tuesday," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Thursday, March 23.

Ali said Lukas had been taking his medication normally since Wednesday, March 22 yesterday. His gift was even supervised directly by doctors on duty at the KPK Detention Center (Rutan).

Furthermore, Ali ensured that the condition of the suspect in the alleged bribery and gratification was good and did not experience any complaints even though he had gone on strike for drugs. There were no complaints whatsoever.

"So we believe that the public is not provoked by the narrative of the suspect's legal adviser," he said.

As previously reported, Lukas Enembe's attorney, Petrus Bala Pattyona, said his client went on strike for drugs and asked for treatment in Singapore. The reason is that he considers the treatment given by the doctor at the KPK Detention Center (Rutan) in vain.

His client has even signed a statement letter. "Mr. Lukas Enembe refused to take the medicine provided by the KPK doctor because there was no change in his illness," said the attorney for Lukas on Wednesday, March 21.

Petrus also stated that this was proven because Lukas' feet looked swollen and he walked limp. Thus, his client requested that he be treated abroad immediately

"Because those who understand very well and understand the illness of Mr. Lukas Enembe are doctors at Mount Elisabeth Hospital, Singapore," said Petrus.
