JAKARTA - The Susi Air plane was burned by the Armed Criminal Group (KKB) in Paro District, Nduga. The Papuan Police confirmed that the action was not related to the arrest of Lukas Enembe. "There is nothing (related to Lukas Enembe, ed)," said Papuan Police Chief Inspector General Mathius D Fakhiri to reporters at the KPK, Tuesday, February 7. Based on information and the results of a temporary investigation, the arson began with the threat of a number of puskesmas workers. Thus, the plane was sent to evacuate the puskesmas workers. However, the KKB led by Egianus Kogoya set fire to the plane with flight number SI 9368. "There is a threat to puskesmas workers. We are trying to evacuate. But yesterday the plane we sent this morning was burned," said Fakhiri. Previously, the KKB led by Egianus Kogoya was suspected of being the mastermind behind the burning of Susi Air's plane. In fact, in a series of incidents there are strong allegations if there was a trade. The allegation was because Paro District, which was the location of the incident, entered their headquarters. In fact, from the information received, in the series of aircraft burning events with flight number SI 9368, there was a transaction. To be sure, the Damai Cartenz Ops team, Nduga Police personnel, and the TNI will investigate the allegations. "Meanwhile, it is suspected that this (trade, ed)," said Head of Public Relations of the Papua Police, Kombes Ignatius Benny Ady Prabowo. Meanwhile, the plane contains five passengers, namely, Demanus Gwijangge, Minda Gwijangge, Pelinus Gwijangge, Meita Gwijangge, and Wetina W. The Porter'stype aircraft flew from Timika at 05.33 WIT and was scheduled to arrive at Moses Kilangin Timika Airport at 07.40 WIT.
