Musician and actor Onadio Leonardo, widely known as Onad, has expressed profound regret following his involvement in a drug abuse case. Police confirm that Beby Prisillia’s husband is demonstrating a strong desire for recovery and a commitment to sobriety.
“There is certainly a strong will to recover, and he is undoubtedly remorseful,” stated AKP Wisnu Wirawan, Head of Public Relations for the West Jakarta Metro Police, at his office on Tuesday, November 4. Reflecting this commitment, Onad officially commenced an inpatient rehabilitation program at a specialized facility in South Jakarta this past Tuesday. He is expected to undergo a three-month recovery period at the center.
The decision to place Onadio Leonardo in rehabilitation stems from his classification as a drug user and victim. This status was further reinforced by the Integrated Assessment Team (TAT) from the National Narcotics Agency Province (BNNP), which also recommended his participation in the rehabilitation program. Police officials have emphasized that the former vocalist of the band Killing Me Inside is considered a victim of narcotics misuse and is not implicated in any large-scale drug networks or trafficking operations.
“Brother OL is a victim of drug abuse; he is a user,” explained Wisnu Wirawan. “He is not involved in any narcotics networks or operating as a dealer.” This clear distinction underscores the authorities’ assessment of Onad’s situation.
Meanwhile, the individual identified only by the initials KR, who supplied narcotics to Onad, is now facing legal prosecution as a drug dealer. Onad’s apprehension was the result of an expanded narcotics investigation. The initial breakthrough occurred on Wednesday, October 29, when police arrested supplier KR in Sunter, North Jakarta. Information gathered during KR’s arrest subsequently led authorities to Onad’s involvement.
The West Jakarta Metro Police Narcotics Unit swiftly acted on this intelligence, apprehending Onad along with his wife, Beby Leonardo, at their residence in Rempoa, East Ciputat, South Tangerang, on Thursday, October 30.
Crucially, Beby Leonardo’s involvement in Onad’s case was solely as a witness. She was released shortly after her arrest, following a negative result from her drug test. In stark contrast, Onad’s urine test confirmed positive for the presence of both marijuana and ecstasy, substantiating the drug abuse allegations.
