According to local villagers, Toge alias Alwih (30) was arrested by police anti-terror unit Densus 88 at around Margahayu market at around 6 am on Thursday where he worked as a motor-bike taxi driver.
Alwih, an ethnic Chinese, lives with his wife and two children in Kampung Rawa Semut.
"I saw Alwih being intercepted by police in plainclothes while he was riding a motorcycle. A police car pushed him aside and made him fall from the motorcycle and was immediately taken away in the car," Acil (21), one of Alwih`s friends said.
A villager who work as a security at Mitra Jaya neighbourhood in Kampung Rawa Semut, Rusli Alamsyah (47), said that the police had actually targeted him since Wednesday (April 20).
"He was believed to be the maker of the book bombs that were sent to KBR68H, singer Ahmad Dani, youth organization leader Yapto and others last March. Right now Alwih has been taken to the police headquarters in Jakarta," he said.
According to local villagers, Alwih is very silent. He has been working as a motorbike taxi driver since three years ago while his wife, Ani, sells cellphone cards.
Alwih converted to Islam before marrying Ani, a villager of Mahalengka. "He converted to Islam around 2005" head of RT04 neighbourhood, Suganda, said.
Alwih was an RT04 member where he used to live with his parents from childhood before moving to RT06 neighborhood. He is the only Muslim in his family, Suganda said.
