“It is not true if anyone spoke that my self was the weapon seized. I’m not an actor, “says Habel.

Here are excerpts Habel Nawipa testimony related seizure cases these two weapons.

Day Monday, August 15, 2011, at around 13:15 CEST, I got a call from John Magai Yogi. He told me to come to the end of the new road, near the Kali Weya. When I was ready to join the meeting with figures of the Church in order to address the rumors about the war plan in Paniai. But, as John says is necessary and must be met, so I went to the place that she promised.

Once arrived at the specified location, I immediately mugged and threatened with guns by John and his friends. They threatened me, if not participate, they would shoot me on the spot. Yes, I am forced to go alone. We rode the boat to the Dagouto. And at around 14:05 CEST, they confiscated my bag. After that the journey continues. But it had stopped, stopped at the edge of Lake Paniai. It was getting dark. We had continuing the trips and speedboat that we were riding directed to the Port of Pasir Putih. Arrived there at 24.00 at night. Next we walk to Komopa.

On arriving near the Kali Dinu, Toyaimuti, they hold up to me and ordered me to lead them toward the police. In the repressed condition that I was forced to lead the way. We arrived at the police office at Komopa about 00:30 CEST, John and his friends immediately break one of the rooms and in it there was a police officer. They hold-up man with a gun and threatened him to immediately provide weapons. At that time some members of the TPN OPM seeking weapons across the room and managed to bring out two guns.

Furthermore, they directed me to take them to the police house. When we arrived at the police housing, they break down the door of Butet Latif House, a member of the Komopa Police Office. He mugged with guns and machetes in the neck. Seeing such conditions, I tried to block the action of TPN OPM. I said to them, do not make something to Mr. Butet. At that time some people find what they want in the house.

But because it does not find nothing, they ask Mr. Butet immediately remove the weapons stored. Mr. Butet pleaded not save the weapon because it is not distributed to members of the Police Komopa. All the weapons have already been collected. John and his friends forced him to go grab ammunition on its leader. Mr. Butet then led them to the Chief of Komopa police, AKP Michael Rumbrapuk.

I was not with them. At that time I was heavily guarded by members of the TPN OPM. They stand with arms at front of Mr. Butet’s home. From that location I saw Mr. Butet with John’s group went to the police chief’s house. Butet came in to the house to met Mr. Rumbrapuk, while John and the members stood outside the house.

Because Mr. Butet was long in Rumbrapuk house, OPM TPN members who stood outside the house had fired two shots into the air. But there was no reaction from the house. John went straight into the house. I wonder what happened between John, Butet and police chief, I do not know. Since I can not see, and anyway I was escorted by several members of the TPN Butet OPM on the front of Mr. Butet’s home.

A moments later John came out. And after that John took us out soon from the neighborhood Komopa Police Office.

On the way home, members of the TPN OPM shot twice in the direction of air. Then in the middle of the road, I was told to go home and then I do not know the way John and his friends.

“My testimony as well as the chronology of events that I mentioned directly. And in writing also I gave to the police station Paniai, “said Habel. (J/04)
