Dating

ANTARA says the arrest was made "Sabtu malam (17/10)", on Saturday night 17 October, and the article was published on 18 October.

Quantities

The weight is "sekitar empat kilogram" and is the police chief's figure from "laporan yang diterima" (reports received), not a weighed seizure.

Attribution

The Papua New Guinea origin is a preliminary police finding: "dari hasil pemeriksaan sementara terungkap ganja tersebut berasal dari Papua Nugini yang diselundupkan melalui jalan setapak atau jalan tikus yang berada di perbatasan RI-PNG". The article names the courier by initials only and says he was "dijanjikan uang Rp5 juta".

Place

The arrest was at the port of Jayapura, in the city of Jayapura, Papua. The pin is the city's point (Wikidata Q27860) as an event site, since the port lies within the city. It is not Jayapura Regency (Q27477).
