995 Weapons Found at Kebayoran Lama Private School, Pramono Demands Strict Punishment 

JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung asked law enforcement officials to take firm action against the discovery of 995 weapons and drugs at a private school in Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta. He considered the findings to be a serious violation that could not be tolerated because it occurred in an educational environment.

Pramono admitted that he was surprised by the number of weapons found at the school. In addition to weapons, the police also found drugs and a number of other evidence.

"What happened at the private school in Kebayoran Lama which was found to be very shocking, the number of weapons was approximately 995, then there was drugs, and there were also other things. The question is, is it allowed? The answer is short, it is not allowed at all," said Pramono at the DKI Jakarta City Hall, Friday, August 7.

According to Pramono, the foundation that oversees the school has set a bad example. Although the parties suspected of being involved have been dismissed, the legal process must continue.

"This foundation is really setting a bad example, even though the person concerned has been fired from the existing foundation," he said.

Pramono emphasized that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government fully supports the police's steps, which are now handling the case. Evidence has been secured and taken to the Polda Metro Jaya.

Therefore, Pramono emphasized that the school environment should be a safe place for students, not a location for storing weapons or drugs.

"Because it has been handled by law enforcement officers and has been down in the field and has seen the existing evidence and has now been brought to the Polda Metro Jaya, the DKI Government provides full support for the most stringent action to be taken for this matter," said Pramono.

The discovery of hundreds of firearms, airsoft guns, ammunition, and related equipment in one of the rooms of a private school in the Pondok Pinang area, Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta, has become a public spotlight. A total of 995 guns and various equipment were found in the educational environment that covers TK, SD, SMP, to SMA levels, raising questions about their origin, legality, and supervision.

The findings raised many questions, ranging from the chronology of the discovery, the type of goods secured, the explanation of the party who claimed to be the owner of the airsoft gun, to how the law regulates the possession of firearms in Indonesia.

The school's lawyer, Hermawanto, explained that the discovery occurred on July 10 and 11, 2026 when the foundation opened a number of rooms in the school environment for operational needs.

During the process of opening the room, the foundation found hundreds of weapons and other equipment in the room that was previously used by the former Chairman of the Foundation's Board of Directors with the initials IWD who had been dismissed.

In addition to hundreds of guns, ammunition, gun accessories, bullet-making tools, suspected narcotics of the type of methamphetamine and marijuana, and a VCD suspected of containing pornographic content were also found in the room.

"So on July 10 and 11, almost a month ago, we found 995 guns. In it there are firearms, including ammunition and also some other weapon accessories," said Hermawanto at the South Jakarta Metro Police, Thursday, August 6.

Hermawanto emphasized that the findings were then reported to the police because all the items were found in the room previously occupied by the former chairman of the foundation's board of directors.

"We report it because all of this was found in the room of the chairman of the foundation who we have fired," he said.

Until now, the police are still investigating the legal status of all the items found, including matching ownership permits, the origin of the weapons, and the party responsible for storing them in the school environment.
