JAKARTA - The attorneys for drug abuse suspects Ardiansyah Bakrie and Nia Ramadhani are currently preparing to apply for rehabilitation for the married couple, considering their roles as users.

Ardi and Nia's attorney, Wa Ode Nur Zaenab, assessed that Nia and Ardi's actions in consuming drugs should be rehabilitated through medical treatment.

"We have prepared a rehabilitation application. In the near future, an assessment can be carried out by the police and rehabilitation can be given," said Wa Ode at the Central Jakarta Metro Police, Friday night as reported by Antara.

According to Wa Ode, the roles of Nia and Ardi in this case of drug abuse are as users or victims.

Therefore, rehabilitation must be given to victims so that they as users can stop consuming.

"Rehabilitation must be given to the victim. Because this is a victim, medical treatment must be given, of course, there is treatment so that the victim can return to the community," she said.

Nia Ramadhani and her husband, Ardiansyah Bakrie, admitted that they had consumed crystal methamphetamine since five months ago.

The Head of Public Relations of the Metro Jaya Police, Grand Commissioner Pol Yusri Yunus said that the motive for the couple who had three children was due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, Nia and Ardi also admitted that there was work pressure that made them consume methamphetamine.

"The initial submission was indeed during this pandemic. She used drugs, moreover her husband, then there was also a lot of work pressure. Those are classic reasons, but we will continue to explore," said Yusri.
