The Process Is Fast, Nia Ramadhani And Ardi Are Officially Undergoing Rehabilitation

JAKARTA - The police said that Nia Ramadhani and her husband, Ardi Bakrie, were officially undergoing rehabilitation. This is because the results of the two assessments are stated only as users.

"We have prepared a rehabilitation proposal. In the near future an assessment can be carried out by the police and rehabilitation can be given," said Wa Ode.

According to Wa Ode, the roles of Nia and Ardi in this case of drug abuse are users or victims.

Therefore, rehabilitation must be given to victims so that they as users can stop consuming.

"Rehabilitation must be given to the victim. Because this is a victim, medical treatment must be given, of course there is treatment (treatment) so that the victim can return to the community," he said.

However, Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Hengki Haryadi said he would continue to process the drug abuse cases they committed to the court.

Hengki stated that at this time there had been a request from the extended family of Nia and Ardi for both of them to be rehabilitated. However, he emphasized that the rehabilitation decision would be carried out by an integrated assessment team from the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) consisting of the National Police, Attorney General's Office, doctors and psychiatrists, who were not from the Central Jakarta Metro Police investigation team.
