Traumatized Citizens, Journalists Are Prohibited From Approaching Sahroni's House In Tanjung Priok

JAKARTA - Access to the house of a member of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Ahmad Sahroni, who is located on Jalan Swasembada Timur 22, Tanjung Priok District, North Jakarta at a local residents' portal on Thursday, September 4, 2025.

Apart from being supported, residents also strictly maintain access to the road from the front and rear.

"It has been guarded since three days ago, since the incident occurred, we will guard it immediately because there should not be a second time, because it is only for the convenience of the residents," said Mahmud (39), a portal guard at Ahmad Sahroni's house, to VOI, Thursday, September 4, 2025.

Residents prohibit anyone who wants to access the road, either to Ahmad Sahroni's house or to another house on Jalan Swasembada Timur 22.

"Yes, that's why we sterilize it because all residents are even traumatized. I'm afraid there will be arson or other incidents such as the incident in East Jakarta," he said.

This tight guard was carried out by the local RT security after an attack and looting took place at Ahmad Sahroni's house. Guard by residents as an effort to anticipate further attacks.

"We are only here to secure the residents. If we are to secure him (Ahmad Sahroni), we are not completely there. We only secure the residents," he said.

In addition, residents also prohibited media crews who wanted to cover around Ahmad Sahroni's house.

Not only that, but they also prohibit journalists who want to enter the access road to Ahmad Sahroni's house.

"Yes, only local residents (who are allowed to enter), at least if it's like ojol we will allow it, but later it will come out again, so that (order) can. Guard 1x24 hours. This is guarded to anticipate that demonstrators will increase again, so that there will be no second incident," he said.

The entry access guard is carried out until an undetermined deadline from the village and local RT administrators.

"In terms of that problem, we are waiting for further information from the village, from the RT. Until when we don't know," he said.

Previously, the crowd raided the house of NasDem legislator Ahmad Sahroni, who was in the Tanjung Priok area, North Jakarta.

Based on the video footage circulating, the rioting took place on Saturday, August 30. The mob surrounded the house of the DPR member.

Not only that, the unknown mass of its origin also carried out destruction. They threw stones at the house causing the glass to break.
