Supporters of Lanny Jaya Regent Candidate Clash, Papua Police Deploy Additional Brimob
JAKARTA - Papuan Deputy Police Chief Brigadier General Faizal Rahmadani said his party had added Brimob personnel to help secure the Lanny Jaya Regency, Papua Mountains.
The addition of 60 Brimob personnel led by Dansat Brimob Kombes Jhon Huntal Sitanggang was caused by a dispute between the masses supporting the regent candidate pairs in the area.
"From the reports received, there was a arson around Tiom, Lanny Jaya Regency," said Wakapoolda as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, December 12.
With the strengthening of personnel, it is hoped that it can help deal with various actions carried out by the mass of supporters of the regent and deputy regent candidate pairs.
Earlier on Wednesday (11/12), an unknown person (OTK) attacked and abused two members of the Lanny Jaya Police, causing one of them to die, Brigpol Triyuda Ardiantara.
In addition, on the same day, OTK also shot a civilian, Basman (43).
