The Papuan Police Confirms The Narrative Video Of Rejecting The Construction Of A New Police Sector In Ilaga As A Hoax, This Is What Actually Happened

JAYAPURA - The Head of Public Relations of the Papua Police, Grand Commissioner Ahmad Musthofa Kamal, said that the video of the protest against the construction of the New Headquarter of Sectoral Police (Mako Polsek) in Ilaga, Puncak Regency, was not true or a hoax.

"That's not true, the demonstration rejects the replacement of the Sinak Police Chief and the Danramil, not against the construction of the Sinak Police Headquarters," Kamal said in a written statement, Thursday, March 3.

According to him, the 55-second video uploaded on the Papua Talk Youtube channel on Thursday, March 3, with the title 'Action to Reject the Construction of a New Police Chief in Sinak Puncak Illaga' was intentionally uploaded by certain groups so that public opinion on the police would be bad.

“These groups want to make it seem as if the police cannot protect their citizens. But the fact is that the residents asked that the Sector Police and Danramil not be replaced," said Grand Commissioner Kamal.

Grand Commissioner Kamal explained that a demonstration against the replacement of Danramil Captain Inf Ardavid and the Head of the Sinak Police Sector, 2nd Insp. Musa Ayakeding, occurred on Wednesday, March 2, 2022, which was carried out by hundreds of people by visiting the Sinak Police Headquarters.

"This is proof of the love of the people in the Sinak District, Puncak Regency for the presence of TNI-Polri officers in the midst of society. Even the public already considers the Sector Police Chief and Military District Commander as family,” said Grand Commissioner Kamal.
