According to the Beta Maluku website, the dome ornament called Tiang Alif is made of pure gold weighing 2.6 kilograms and 200 gemstones. This dome ornament is believed to have been stolen by someone on Monday, March 4, 2024, around 03:00 WIT in the early morning.

"Clearly, this case has caused a commotion among the local residents. The residents only realized the disappearance of the top part of the mosque's dome on Monday morning. The news of the missing Alif Pillar has also gone viral on various social media platforms."

The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The Sub-district Head of Teluk Kayeli and the Village Chief of Kayeli have visited the Pulau Buru Police Resort to report the unfortunate incident for further action. The thief of the Alif Pole is still unknown. Nevertheless, the community, religious figures, and local traditional leaders are still conducting a search to uncover the perpetrator of the theft."

According to the Head of Teluk Kaiely Subdistrict, Fandi Wael, Tiang Alif is a donation from the gold miners of Mount Botak, initiated by his father, Raja Petuanan Kaiely M. Fuad Wael, in 2013-2014. He suspects that the theft involved more than one person or group, as it is not easy to reach the peak of the mosque dome.

"I am confident that the perpetrators of the theft are more than one person or group because it is not easy for one person alone to climb up to the top of the dome," said Fandi, quoted from the kilasmaluku.id website. Meanwhile, the Chief of Pualu Buru Police, AKBP Sulastri Sukidjang, admitted to ordering her subordinates to investigate the disappearance of the dome decorations."
