Donor of Weapons Suppliers for Papuan KKB Comes from Robbery

The weapons of the Papuan Armed Criminal Group (KKB) are said to be very sophisticated even though they live in the forest. The origin of the weapons is suspected to be homemade weapons in Lumajang, East Java.

Then, weapons are also said to have been sent from the Philippines and Papua New Guinea. In addition, there is also the role of financiers or donors as suppliers of weapons to the Papuan KKB. So who are the donors?

Quoted from hops.id, the Suara.com media network, there is a role for investors who are known to have been caught red-handed as suppliers of Papuan KKB weapons. He is none other than Paniel Kogoya (41), a figure who is said to be a firearms supplier who provides capital to buy firearms.

Paniel Kogoya is known to have spent Rp 1.1 billion to buy four firearms. He is a financier for KKB operations in Papua. Paniel Kogoya's source of money came from Ges Gwijangge, a member of the Papuan KKB led by Egianus Kogoya.

"The funds come from confiscation, robbery and extortion of tribal heads and village funds in each village who are forced to deposit Rp 1 billion per village or village," said Head of the Nemangkawi Public Relations Task Force Kombes Iqbal Alqudusy.

In addition, another problem, the ambush activities carried out by the joint military and police officers against the Papuan Armed Criminal Groups (KKB) did not seem to have resolved the problem. Because cases of violence still happen.

It turned out that the KKB in Papua used school children to divulge police secrets, ranging from strategies, weapons storage locations, to police guard positions.

This statement was made by the Kabaintelkam Polri Komjen Paulus Waterpauw. He explained that his party had for now stopped the mentoring program for Operational Assistance Personnel (TBO).

As for the cause, the authorities found a teenager who was quite suspicious. Then his party also explored further related to the activities of the teenager who is one of the students at the Papuan school.

Investigating a calibaration, the police managed to reveal the suspicion, it turned out that the teenager was an informant who leaked the police's secret to the KKB movement in Papua.

In fact, said Paulus, the teenager was one of the Papuan children being taught by the police at the police station.

Regarding the teaching and learning process carried out at the police station, this is because many teachers claim to be afraid that the teenage students they teach are part of the Papuan KKB gang.

"Because many teachers are afraid, so many children are being taught by the police and indeed there are several complaints from several parties, why are young people at this age considered part of the group," he said in a discussion entitled Nationality of Papuan Generations, quoted by Hops from Liputan6 on Wednesday, June 2, 2021.
