CENTRAL PAPUA - Mimika Police in Central Papua formed a joint team for a search mission against DK, a member of the voting committee in the far West Mimika District that was lost in Potowai Buru.

"The team formed consists of the TNI-Polri, SAR and the family who will be deployed to look for DK," said Mimika Police Chief AKBP I Gede Putra when contacted in Jayapura, Monday, February 26, confiscated by Antara.

The police chief explained that from the reports received, DK before being declared missing had attended a meeting to prepare for the 2024 election which was attended by the Head of the District, Sector Police and PPD.

The meeting, which was held on February 11, 2024, was attended by DK, but when it was taking place suddenly the person concerned came out and was seen walking towards the forest.

"There were eyewitnesses who saw DK after leaving the meeting room walking towards the forest and so far they have not returned to their homes," said Gede Putra.

After not returning home, he said, the family and community had conducted a search, including by performing traditional rituals, but so far they have not been found.

Therefore, he continued, his party together with the community and SAR will again conduct a search for the person concerned.

He added that it would take about seven hours to reach Potowai Buru by motorboat.

Potowai Buru is the capital city of the Far West Mimika District, Central Papua Province.
