Two officers from the Poso Police are feared missing after having last been 
seen some six days ago. 

The police officers, Brig. Sudirman and First Brig. Andi Sappa, were last 
reported seen at a thanksgiving gathering on Oct. 8 at around 11 a.m. at the 
house of Tamanjeka hamlet head Muhammad Sabarah, located some 3 kilometers from 
Massani village, Poso Pesisir district. 

Although they were stationed at separate places — Sudirman at the Poso Pesisir 
Police as chief of detectives and Andi at the Poso Police is an intelligence 
officer — the two have known each other for a long time, since Andi previously 
served as community police chief in Toini village, Poso Pesisir district.

The deputy chief of the Poso Police, Comr. Eko Yudi, confirmed the two officers 
were missing on Monday. 

According to reports, after attending the gathering on Oct. 8, Sudirman did not 
report for duty the next day. 

The local police chief asked his men about Sudirman’s absence, but they said 
they were unaware of his whereabouts and had lost contact with Sudirman. The 
same was said of Andi.

Unable to contact the missing men, officers from the Poso Pesisir Police went 
to Tamanjeka hamlet to inquire the whereabouts of the two officers who attended 
the gathering. According to Eko, the hamlet head reported that both of the men 
immediately returned home in the afternoon after the gathering. 

“Those who were assigned to look for the missing police members then traced the 
road taken by Sudirman and Andi in Weralulu hamlet, Tokorondo village in Poso 
Pesisir. According to residents in the hamlet, at around 6 p.m., both of them 
stopped by to buy gasoline and then continued their journey,” said Eko.

As they did not arrive in Tokorondo village that night, police then reported 
the men as missing somewhere along the 6-kilometer stretch of treacherous and 
poorly-maintained mountain road between Weralulu hamlet and Tokorondo village. 

According to Eko, his force has mobilized around 60 Mobile Brigade personnel in 
addition to detectives and 60 Indonesian Military (TNI) soldiers to search the 
area where the missing men are believed to have gone missing.

He called on residents to provide any information that might be relevant so 
that both men could be found immediately.

Poso Pesisir Police chief First Insp. Sudaryono said Sudirman had previously 
asked for permission to attend the gathering. 

“I didn’t allow him to go earlier, but as he said the person hosting the 
gathering was a relative and he was familiar with the place, I eventually 
allowed him to go,” said Sudaryono.

As of the time of writing, police were still working to find the men. In 
addition to TNI soldiers and local residents, authorities have also involved 
local soothsayers to gather information on the whereabouts of the two missing 
policemen.
