PEKANBARU - The non-active Riau Governor Abdul Wahid arrived at the Sultan Syarif Kasim II Airport wearing an orange prison vest, a mask, and a hat. He was closely escorted by the police when he got off the plane.
When escorted out of the airport area by officers, Abdul Wahid was seen with two other suspects in the case of a hand-in-hand operation (OTT) carried out by the Corruption Eradication Commission.
When asked by the media about his condition, Abdul Wahid only answered briefly in a low voice.
"Healthy," he said, quoted via Antara, Wednesday, March 11.
In addition to Abdul Wahid, officers also escorted the former Head of the Public Works, Spatial Planning, Housing, Residential Areas and Land Agency (PUPRPKPP) of the Riau Province, Muhammad Arif Setyawan, and the Expert Staff of the Governor of Riau, Dani M. Nursalam. Both also wore prisoner vests with their hands handcuffed.
Abdul Wahid's arrival in Pekanbaru was greeted by a number of people who were suspected to be his supporters. The same thing was also seen when Abdul Wahid and the other two suspects arrived at the Sialang Bungkuk Detention House. Several people appeared around the location to welcome their arrival.
Previously, the KPK confirmed the arrest of Abdul Wahid on November 3, 2025 in a hand-in-hand operation with eight other people. A day after the arrest, Dani M. Nursalam surrendered to the anti-corruption agency.
On November 5, 2025, the KPK officially named Abdul Wahid and Muhammad Arif Setyawan as suspects in the case. The status of suspect was also given to Dani M. Nursalam.
During the investigation process, the KPK also carried out searches at a number of locations, both government offices and official residences and private homes of a number of parties. Among others, the Riau Provincial Government Secretariat, the PUPRPKPP Office, the Education Office, and the Regional Asset and Finance Management Agency.
The KPK also examined a number of regional officials, including the Acting Governor of Riau SF Hariyanto and the Regional Secretary Syahrial Abdi. Both the official residence and private homes were also searched by investigators.
Finally, Abdul Wahid's aide with the initials MJ was also named a suspect in this case.
Currently, the case has been referred to the Corruption Court in Pekanbaru and will soon enter the trial stage.
