TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Military and police personnel under the Nemangkawi task force in Papua has apprehended one of the leaders of a local armed criminal group, Senaf Soll, on Wednesday. Soll was also a former soldier for the Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI).

The criminal group led by Senaf Soll, who’s original name is Ananias Yaluka, had reportedly killed and attacked Indonesian authorities in the past such as the attack on two military personnel of Linux infantry battalion and the killing of a Yahukimo KPU staff.
