The Head of the Bakauheni Port Area Police (KSKP), AKP Firman Widyaputra, confirmed that his party received a report from the security guard at the parking lot of Bakauheni Port, South Lampung, being held at gunpoint by officers from the Port Authority's Harbormaster Office (KSOP).

"Yes, this morning at approximately 04.00 WIB, we have received a report from ASDP regarding the arrest of a firearm at the exit counter in the regular terminal parking lot," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Friday, January 3.

Based on the report, members of KSKP Bakauheni immediately processed the crime scene (TKP), by asking for statements from several witnesses and collecting evidence.

"This morning we went to the TKP to check for evidence and ask for information by witnesses, and this morning we have secured the person in question or the alleged perpetrator at the Bakaheuni KSKP Police," he said. The police have not been able to confirm the motive of the alleged perpetrator so that they carry out arrests of the parking counter officers.

"We are still investigating the motive of the perpetrators for holding the parking counter officers," he said. According to him, based on the victim's confession, the incident began at the port exit.

KSOP officer named Yusnirda was reportedly not willing to pay parking fees.

A ticket operator officer named Kemas M Iksan then advised Yusnirda to arrange a pass card, in order to get in and out of the port for free.

The two had an argument until the KSOP officer finally took out his firearm and pointed it at the counter officers.
