It is known that the alleged racism attack carried out by Hanura Party politician Ambroncius Nababan was disclosed on his Facebook account. In the Facebook status upload, Ambroncius embedded a Pigai photo with a photo of a gorilla animal
"Edodoeee pace. Your vaccine is not a synovac pace, but your brother said it was rabies vaccine," said Ambroncius.
Regarding vaccines, Pigai once stated that he did not want a vaccine announced by the government. Pigai disclosed this in Karni Ilyas's Youtube show.
Until finally, Ambroncius was reported to the police by the Chairman of the West Papua Indonesian Youth National Committee (KNPI) Sius Dowansiba for alleged hate speech. Now, the alleged case of Ambroncius Nababan's hate speech has been transferred to the Police Criminal Investigation Unit.
