Papuan Police Chief Inspector General Mathius Fakhiri admitted that until now he is still investigating and investigating cases of riots in Jayapura both in the city and district for a moment the body of former Papua Governor Lukas Enembe was brought from Sentani. Investigations are still being carried out to ensure that the perpetrators are both in the case of arson, beatings including the Acting Governor of Papua Ridwan Ruikutun to the burning of shophouses and Korem 172/PWY dormitories in Waena which occurred on December 28, 2023. "Hopefully investigators can immediately uncover the case," said Fakhiri in Jayapura, Antara, Thursday, January 11. Admittedly, currently the evidence in the form of video recordings and photos circulating on social media is still being studied. The investigation into the case was carried out in order to reveal who the perpetrators were and what motives and participation of the group wanted to make Papua unsafe. "In addition, it is also to provide a deterrent effect so that they no longer commit criminal acts," said Fakhiri. When asked if there was any suspicion of involvement in the group in the fire case in the Youtefa Market area, Abepura, the Papuan Police Chief admitted that he could not confirm it. For the case of a fire in seven locations (TKP) around the Youtefa market that occurred on Sunday (17/1), the joint TNI-POLRI team has arrested a perpetrator and is currently being held at the Jayapura City Police.

"Investigators are still investigating whether or not there is a relationship between the two cases, even though RN (27 years) is the perpetrator of the arson around the Youtefa market, claiming to be moving alone," he said.
