Prominent entertainer Onadio Leonardo is currently undergoing intensive police examination following his arrest for alleged drug abuse. The celebrity, widely known as Onad, was apprehended alongside his wife, Beby Prisilia, on Thursday evening, October 30, in the Rempoa area of Ciputat, South Tangerang.
In the wake of Onad and Beby’s arrest, fellow comedian and colleague Coki Pardede swiftly voiced his unwavering support. Taking to Instagram, Coki passionately asserted that despite the serious allegations, Onad and Beby are fundamentally good people.
“I won’t pretend to understand everything you’re feeling,” Coki Pardede expressed in a heartfelt caption accompanying a photograph of himself with Onad and Beby. “But I do know one thing: you are not bad people. You’ve just succumbed to something immensely challenging, and that’s a struggle anyone can face.”
Demonstrating profound loyalty, Coki further emphasized his commitment to standing by his friends during this difficult period. “I’m not leaving, man. I want to be there when you try to start over, f*ck what people say. After this, let’s get drunk again, Nad. Let’s hit the gym together, hahahahah,” he concluded, offering a blend of tough love and enduring camaraderie.
As part of the ongoing investigation into the alleged drug abuse case, authorities confirmed that a number of items were seized from Onadio Leonardo’s possession at the time of his arrest. These included residual marijuana and rolling papers, which are typically used for drug consumption.
Providing more specific details, the Head of Public Relations for the Jakarta Metro Police, Brigadier General Ade Ary, informed the media on Friday, October 31, about the evidence recovered. “At the crime scene of suspect LA’s arrest, evidence found included one sheet of rolling paper, one small plastic clip containing residual marijuana stems, one small box, and three mobile phones,” Brig. Gen. Ade Ary stated.
Further deepening the investigation, Brig. Gen. Ade Ary also revealed that field assessments suggested the presence of another illicit substance. Investigators believe additional evidence, specifically ecstasy, may have been consumed by Onad prior to his apprehension.
“Thus, the ecstasy evidence was no longer present, as it was allegedly used. Only some residual marijuana in plastic was ultimately discovered,” Ade Ary elaborated, highlighting the complexity of the ongoing police investigation into the alleged narcotics offense.
