West Papua Regional Police Chief: KKB Must Be Arrested Dead or Alive

West Papua Regional Police Chief Inspector General Pol. Daniel TM Silitonga ordered the arrest of the armed criminal group (KKB) who are still spreading terror against civilians in Maybrat. Daniel said that KKB must be caught alive or dead.

Reported by Antara, Thursday (29/12/2022), the West Papua Regional Police Chief stated this in Manokwari, Wednesday (28/12) evening, when directing Polri personnel in the ranks so they would not be careless in facing the KKB terror against civilians. Daniel raises alert status at Maybrat.

"We are on alert one against the KKB in Maybrat. The point is the criminals must be caught dead or alive," said Daniel.
 
Daniel said that Polri and TNI personnel had taken control of the Maybrat area, which previously the KKB had claimed to have occupied. He said Maybrat was in a conducive situation.

"Until now, Maybrat is in a conducive situation. The National Police and the TNI are conducting periodic evaluations with the Maybrat Regency Government so that we can confirm that the video circulating about the KKB controlling the Kmurkek District is not true," said Daniel.

He said that regular and measured patrols were carried out by the National Police and the TNI to ensure Maybrat's overall conductivity.
 
"If a video confession took over Kmurkek on Christmas Eve, that's not true. It could have been because it was dark they confessed by making a video. However, at 06.00 all the personnel made sure the conditions there were safe," he also said.
 
It is known that KKB still exists in the Maybrat area to Bintuni, West Papua. They spread terror against civilians and security forces.

The police have disseminated the identities of a number of KKB members who are on the wanted list (DPO) in a series of attacks on military posts and civilian road workers.
