JAKARTA - One sympathizer of Lukas Enembe was shot dead by a police officer during a riot at Sentani Airport, Jayapura. Papua Police Chief Inspector General Mathius D Fakhiri said he would investigate it. "Of course, because someone died, I have ordered the Head of Propam and the Director of General Crimes to immediately take steps to carry out an investigation," Fakhiri told reporters, Wednesday, January 11. So far, the reason the police officer shot the sympathizer of Lukas Enembe was because he did not heed the appeal to disperse. Instead, continue to carry out attackers with arrows and stones. Thus, the Propam and Detective ranks will explore whether there are criminal violations or procedures. "What the members at Sentani have done is right or not. Of course, this SOP will be seen and I ask that today I be reported," he said. If the results of the investigation find elements of negligence and crime, then the legal process will be given. Of course, according to the applicable rules. "So if there is a procedural error, I make sure we will take law enforcement steps to members who do not obey the SOPs that should be carried out," said Fakhiri. Previously, it was reported that 19 people were arrested in the aftermath of the riot that occurred after the arrest of Lukas Enembe in connection with the alleged corruption case. One of them died because he was shot by police personnel. Of the dozens of people arrested, two of them were arrested during a riot in front of the Mako Brimob Kotaraja. While the rest are in the Jayapura Regency area. "Of the 17 that we have secured in Jayapura Regency, 1 has been shot and died and the following are 16, we have taken care of their health," said Fakhiri.
