Inp.polri.go.id - Pekanbaru. The National Narcotics Agency of Riau (BNNP Riau) confiscated 63 kilograms of dried marijuana, most of which was hidden in the Student Activity Center (PKM) building at Sultan Syarif Kasim State Islamic University (UIN Suska) in Pekanbaru, Riau..
BNNP Riau’s Head of Enforcement, Senior Superintendent Charles Sinaga, said on Wednesday (13/8/2025) that the case began with a tip-off about a shipment via Indah Cargo on Jalan Garuda Sakti. On 8 August 2025, officers arrested two suspects, identified as RS and S, with 23 packages of marijuana bound for South Tangerang in Banten.
A follow-up search at the PKM building uncovered 50 more packages concealed in the roof. Suspect RS allegedly coordinated distribution in the campus area under orders from accomplices A and M, while suspect S helped store and distribute the drugs.
The suspects, both former UIN Suska students, used the campus as a perceived “safe zone” for trafficking. They face charges under Law No. 35/2009 on Narcotics.
