Satgas Damai Cartenz arrested an alleged TPNPB member, Alenus Tabuni, in Puncak Regency, Central Papua Province, Sunday (18/2/2024).
The police stated that Tabuni is a former member of the Goliath Tabuni group and has now joined the Numbuk Telenggen group. Tabuni is allegedly involved in a number of cases of violence, murder, assault, shooting and arson, all of which occurred in 2021.
