JAYAPURA - Papuan Police Chief Inspector General Mathius D Fakhiri immediately sent two platoons of Brimob personnel to Kiwirok to pursue the armed criminal group (KKB) that carried out terror.

Previously, the Papuan Police had sent two teams from the Nemangkawi Task Force, and they are now in Oksibil, the capital of the Bintang Mountains Regency.

"The Brimob personnel that will be sent are to strengthen members who have already been in the area," said Inspector General Fakhiri, in Jayapura, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, September 15.

The Papuan Regional Police advised members not to be easily provoked by the KKB action and to really take into account the steps to be taken, so as not to cause casualties or firearms.

"Every step taken must be calculated carefully, so as not to become a supplier of firearms to the KKB," said Fakhiri.

According to the Kapolda, the security situation in Kiwirok is relatively conducive. KKB is currently shifting to Okhika.

"However, TNI and Polri personnel are asked to remain alert and vigilant, so as not to fall victim," said Inspector General Fakhiri.

"What the KKB has done is very inhumane because it persecutes health workers who should be protected, considering their existence is to help heal sick people," said the Papuan Police Chief.
