The KKB Leaders' Aide returned to the Republic of Indonesia after being cheated by the OPM for a long time

Aides to the high-ranking armed criminal group in Papua KKB, Telangga Gire (30) claimed to feel cheated by Goliat Tabuni and his group who said that if Papua soon would be independent and they would be promised a high office.

"We have suffered for years in the forest, overheating, cold, rain, hunger and others. Every day we only eat petatas and taro take from residents' gardens, while development in villages and cities is more advanced and people live prosperous, "Talangga said.

In addition, there were three other people who followed Telangga who made the decision to return to the Republic of Indonesia, they were, Piningga Gire (25), Tekiles Tabuni (30) and Perengga (27). They also handed over a Mosser firearm and a number of 7.62 cal munitions. As is known, Telangga Gire and three others surrendered and pledged loyalty to the Republic of Indonesia.

Kapendam 17 Cenderawasih Colonel Inf. M. Aidi in a written statement explained that the surrender process began with communication with a member of Kodim 1714 / PJ named Sertu Jefri May, which took place since May 5, 2019.

According to Telangga, he and some of his colleagues had long wanted to surrender, but did not know how to do it for fear of being shot by the TNI / Polri. After getting to know Jefri May and his friends, communication was intense, both via telephone and in person.

According to Aidi, Telangga and his group secretly observed TNI interactions with the people who looked very good, and never hurt the people. The TNI always helps the people, including the TNI helping to build roads and other facilities.
