PeKANBARU - Riau Provincial National Narcotics Agency (BNNP) confiscated 63 kilograms of dried marijuana, mostly hidden in the Student Activity Center Building (PKM) of the Sultan Syarif Kasim II State Islamic University (Suska) campus, Pekanbaru City.

Head of the Riau BNNP Eradication, Kombes Charles Sinaga, said that the disclosure of the case began with information regarding the alleged shipment of dried marijuana through the Indah Cargo expedition service on Jalan Garuda Sakti, Pekanbaru.

At around 09.40 WIB on Friday (8/8), the team secured two suspects with the initials RS and S along with a cardboard box containing 23 packages of dried marijuana to be sent to South Tangerang, "he said as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, August 13.

From the results of the interrogation, the two suspects admitted that they still kept marijuana at the UIN Suska Riau PKM Building. The search that was witnessed by the campus found two boxes containing 40 packages and 10 packages of dried marijuana hidden on the roof of the building.

BNNP Riau said the hospital played a role in controlling the circulation and distribution of cannabis packages in the campus area. This was on the orders of his colleagues A and M, in exchange for Rp. 200 thousand each delivery.

Meanwhile, S played a role in helping with storage and distribution with a wage of Rp. 2 million after all packages were sold or sent. The perpetrator chose the campus area because it was considered safe and not monitored by law enforcement officials.

"Both of them are former UIN student Suska Riau. The suspects used the campus area to store and control circulation," he continued.

The mode used is to send dried marijuana between provinces through expedition services with networks from North Sumatra, Riau, Palembang, Lampung, and Java.

As a result of their actions, the suspects were charged with Article 114 paragraph (2) in conjunction with Article 112 paragraph (2) in conjunction with Article 132 paragraph (1) of Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics.
