Papuan Police Chief Inspector General Mathius Fakhiri estimates that the KKB led by Egianus Kogoya and his hostages are currently in the vicinity of Nduga and Lanny Jaya Regencies.
The allegation concluded that the two districts were interconnected and still had kinship with Egianus.
"Egianus cannot get out far from the villages that have been suppliers of foodstuffs for himself and members," explained Inspector General Fakhiri to ANTARA in Jayapura, Friday, March 24.
It is said that efforts to release hostages are still being carried out, including the team sent by the Nduga Regent.
"In fact, we still provide an opportunity for the team sent by the Nduga Regent to carry out a humanitarian mission to free the hostages who work on the pilot side of the water," said Fakhiri.
Two-star general admitted that Egianus had been around Koyawage, Lanny Jaya Regency but did not carry the hostages.
Koyawage itself is the area of origin of its mother, so it is estimated that Egianus deliberately went to the area. It is currently reported that he has returned to the Nduga Regency area.
The KKB led by Egianus Kogoya since 7 Pebruari has taken the pilot Susi Air, a New Zealand national, hostage, Philip Mark Mahrentens, shortly after landing his plane at the Paro airport, Nduga Regency, Papua Mountains.
In addition to holding the pilot hostage, the KKB also burned Susi Air's Pilatus aircraft.
