"There is no information from the police."
Madiun, East Java (ANTARA News) - Special detachment (Densus) 88 anti-terrorism of the Indonesian national police has arrested an alleged terror, identified as Agus Anton Figian (31), in Sewulan Kulon village, Dagangan sub-district, Madiun, East Java.

Based on information in the field, Figian was arrested by officers on Friday night (October 26) around 11.00 p.m. (local time) in Kulon Sewulan village.

He allegedly served as a bomb assembler and provided funding for a number of terror incidents in the country.

Rahayu Ningsih, Figian`s wife, said that she did not know anything about the arrest of her husband.

"He has not come home since last night. In fact, our family is still looking for him because we haven`t heard from him, and he also took a key to our house," Ningsih told reporters.

Ningsih said she was surprised to hear that her husband has been arrested as a terrorism suspect and did not believe that her husband is involved in terrorism activities.

"There is no information from the police. I really don`t know about this matter," she said.

"My husband is such a quiet and introverted person, but he is a good family man," she added.

Ningsih further added that Figian worked as a furniture entrepreneur and they have three children.

Meanwhile, Chief of Madiun Police, Commissioner Bambang Setiyawan, when contacted by reporters said he did not have details about the arrest that occurred in his jurisdiction.

"I`ve heard about the arrest, but I haven`t received any report," he said.

"In terrorism cases, the anti-terrorism unit is not coordinated with the local police. They usually will report after an incident," Setiyawan added.
