JAKARTA - Detachment 88 Anti-terror arrested three suspected terrorists of the Jamaah Islamiyah (JI) network in Bekasi, West Java some time ago. The three are Farid Okbah, Ahmad Zain An-Najah, and Anung Al-Hamat.

Recently, an old video of Farid Okbah circulated when he shared advice with President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). Yes, Farid is known to have met several figures before he was arrested. Most recently when he met the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan.

Apart from Anies, Farid is known to have met President Joko Widodo. The results of this meeting were shared via a video uploaded to the @faridokbah_official Instagram account on Monday, November 22.

"When meeting with the authorities, don't take too many great people (advice, ed). That's why when I met Pak Jokowi at the palace, I said only five," said Farid Okbah.

What are five pieces of advice to President Jokowi? First, establish prayer and truth. Second, we must uphold justice, not favoritism.

"The three can serve as ministers, the right man in the right place who has the capacity and leadership ability," said Farid.

Next is the commitment to eradicate corruption to its roots. The last is the equitable distribution of wealth.

"You yourself said that the biggest problem in this nation is crime. I said that there are 100 rich people, one Muslim, 99 non-Muslims. This can be corrected by Professor Chandra, an economist, "

"If there are 99 non-Muslims (poor people) who are jomplang, sir, then I suggest the president to make sharia markets, not malls. The mall belongs to a conglomerate, sir, but if the sharia market is by the people, by the people, that's what it is! What's important is that I gave it," said Farid.

It is known, Instagram @faridokbah_official has been managed by admin. That is why the Instagram social media account is still active even though Farid has been arrested by Densus 88.

"Farid Ahmad Okbah's @faridokbah_official account is managed by an admin," said the Head of the Special Detachment Operations Assistance (Densus) 88 Anti-terror Police Kombes Pol Aswin Siregar as reported by Antara, Wednesday, November 17.
