JAKARTA - The Nemangkawi Task Force suspects that the perpetrators of the attack on the Sugapa Police are members of the Papuan Armed Criminal Group (KKB) led by Undinus Kogoya. Because, based on the mapping, only that group is around Intan Jaya, Papua.

"For now, Intan Jaya is the Undinus Kogoya group," said Head of the Nemangkawi Operations Task Force Brigadier General Ramdani Hidayat when confirmed, Saturday, November 20.

Although there is a strong suspicion regarding the perpetrators of the attack, the five people who shot at the Sugapa Police have not been caught. The team is still hunting for their whereabouts.

"Not caught yet," said Ramdani. Sugapa Police was attacked by KKB on Thursday, November 18. The so-called terrorist group opened fire on the police station from two directions.

"The shooting at the Sugapa Police Sector by KKB which came from the direction of the Telkomsel tower was 4 times," said Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Public Relations Division Kombes Ahmad Ramadhan.

"In addition, there were also shots from behind the PDB Bank towards the Sugapa Police," he continued.

After the attack, the team conducted a sweep using drone technology. As a result, it appears that five members of the KKB carrying three long-barreled weapons gathered in one of the green houses.

From there, the Nemangkawi Task Force team headed to the identified house to conduct raids. At the house, OJ and NT were found, who were immediately taken into custody.

"OJ and NT were traced by the Nemangkawi Task Force, there is no connection with the KKB," said Ramadhan.

However, based on the results of the examination, the two men were not related to the KKB. So they will be released.
