Puncak Jaya — The arrest of members of the Armed Criminal Group (KKB) in Central Papua again proves the effectiveness of intelligence cooperation between security forces and the public. On Friday (8/15/2025) around 10.40 WIT, the Task Force Operation Peace Cartenz succeeded in arresting Konara Enumbi, a fugitive in the shooting case against Brigadier Ronald Enok on January 21, 2025.
The arrest operation was carried out at a honai in Usir Depan Village, Puncak Jaya Regency, after the joint team obtained accurate information from the results of area mapping and local community reports. The arrests took place quickly and measuredly, without causing additional casualties in the field.
Konara Enumbi is known to be part of the KKB Yambi army led by Tengah Mati Enumbi, Commander of Kodap Yambi. He is suspected to be directly involved in the shooting in Lima-lima Village, Pagaleme District, which killed Brigpol Ronald Enok. In addition, he played an active role in armed attacks against security forces in the region.
From the hands of the suspect, the officers secured a number of evidence, including one unit of Yamaha Vixion 150 motorcycle, one head noken, one brown jacket, and three packs of betel nut. The suspect has now been taken to the Puncak Jaya Police Station to undergo an intensive examination and further legal process.
