Five members of the Central Sulawesi Police have tested positive for drugs based on urine tests conducted by the National Narcotics Agency (BNN). The test involved Central Sulawesi Police chief Brig. Gen. Rudy Sufahriadi and around 125 of his men.
"On Monday we conducted urine tests at the police headquarters and found that five police members had tested positive for drugs. However, we must further investigate," Central Sulawesi BNN head Sr. Comr. Djoko Marjatno told The Jakarta Post on Tuesday.
Djoko said the police officers had certainly been using drugs, but he could not rule out the presence of medicines or vitamins or the contamination of addictive substances mixed in with their medicines, which were consumed after taking vitamins based on a doctor's prescription.
"If there is positive drug use, the police chief will certainly take firm action against them. We, at the BNN, only help and advise on the medical assessment process," he said.
