JAKARTA - The Daily Chief of the National Police Commission (Kompolnas) Inspector General (Ret.) Benny Mamoto said that the prosecution of the Armed Criminal Group (KKB) terrorists in Papua by the Special Detachment 88 Anti-terror Team of the National Police awaits coordination with the TNI Commander.
"After being sworn in later, the TNI Commander will of course coordinate with the National Police and the provincial government to realize what has been described during the "fit and proper test" at the DPR. We are waiting for the implementation of the program," said Benny, quoted by Antara, Monday, November 8.
Benny said that all parties, including himself, listened to the explanation of the candidate for the TNI Commander in a "fit and proper test" at Commission I of the DPR, one of which was the program to win battles without war.
This is what Benny meant in resolving the problem of terrorism in Papau by the KKB waiting for the coordination of the elected TNI Commander.
"Regarding the Papua issue, we have all heard the explanations of the candidate for the TNI Commander in Chief, one of which is the program to win battles without war," said Benny, who is also a former Densus 88 investigator.
Previously, a number of parties encouraged the Police Anti-terror Detachment 88 Team not only to take action against terrorists in Lampung and confiscate charity contacts.
Kompolnas as the external supervisor of the police said that the TNI and Polri are currently cooperating in overcoming the KKB terrorist attack through the Nemangkawi Operations Task Force.
The National Police's Anti-terror Detachment 88 arrested a total of eight people suspected of being involved in the Jemaah Islamiyah terrorist network in Lampung in the period from late October to early November 2021.
Police also confiscated 791 and 500 charity boxes while arresting several suspected terrorists in Lampung last week.
However, the arrests and seizures were criticized by several community groups, including politicians. DPR member Fadli Zon via his personal Twitter account, Saturday, November 6 tweeted, “Densus 88 versus the Amal Box. Acute Islamophobia".
