An Indonesian man has reportedly died after he was attacked in an armed robbery on Wednesday, July 2.
This is according to a press statement from the Ministry of Communication and Aviation.
The deceased, identified as Mr Ngabdullah, was a Security Supervisor with China Railway Construction Engineering Group Company Limited (CRCEG), a statement from the Ministry of Communication and Aviation (MCA) yesterday said.
Police are however unaware of the incident, police media told Island Sun when contacted yesterday for comment.
Meanwhile, the MCA statement said Mr Ngabdullah “passed away on July 8, 2025 at the National Referral Hospital, from injuries believed to have been sustained while responding to a violent robbery at the company’s Honiara International Airport premises on July 2, 2025 which he bravely attempted to defend”.
Ngabdullah was a highly respected and dedicated member of the security team, the statement said.
The ministry said they are working closely with CRCEG and relevant authorities to ensure repatriation of Ngabdullah’s body to his family in Indonesia.
Meanwhile, an official report is being prepared to determine the full circumstances surrounding his passing, the MCA statement said.
“Once concluded, the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force will proceed with appropriate actions.
“The Solomon Islands Government strongly condemns this appalling and senseless act of violence, which has no place in our society. Authorities are treating the case with the utmost seriousness.
“We urge anyone who may have information related to the incident to come forward and contact the police on 36111,” the statement said.
