KKB YL Members Arrested As Intel In Kenyam

Nduga Police Chief AKBP Rio Alex Penelewan said from the results of the examination of YL it was revealed that the suspect was an intelligence of the Armed Criminal Group (KKB) tasked with spying on security forces in Kenyam, the capital of Nduga Regency, Papua Mountains.

"It is true that the results of the examination revealed that YL who was arrested in Kenyam, Thursday (22/6) was a member of the KKB led by Egianus Kogoya who was part of the city's intelligence," said AKBP Rio as quoted by ANTARA, Friday, June 30.

His job is to spy on security forces and report to the KKB, as he did shortly before the shooting of members of the TNI-AU who were tasked with securing the Kenyam airport.

He explained that before attacking and firing the security forces, YL reported that it was related to troops who wanted to go to the airport and after receiving the report, KKB members immediately carried out the shooting.

There were no fatalities in the shooting incident that occurred Wednesday (22/6).

YL joined the KKB since 2018 and has often been in and out of Kenyam.

"When he was arrested there was no resistance from YL," he explained.
