JAKARTA - A volunteer for Jokowi Mania (JoMan), I San Salvator Ngaro Keli, was questioned for his report to Jakarta State University (UNJ) Lecturer Ubedilah Badrun regarding alleged slander. During the investigation, the police studied the use of the article and offered to withdraw the report.

"Earlier, we discussed it thoroughly, article by article, sentence by sentence, point by point," said JoMan's attorney, Bambang Sri to reporters, Wednesday, January 19.

The articles discussed are Article 14 and Article 15 of Law Number 1 of 1946 concerning Criminal Law Regulations and Article 28 of Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning ITE. Where, that rule is considered to have been violated by Ubedilah.

In addition, Bambang also stated that the investigative team mentioned that Gibran Rakabuming Raka asked that the legal process be discontinued. However, for now this is not certain.

The reason is, it needs to be discussed further with Immanuel Eben Ezer as chairman of Joman. "If Pak Immanuel tells you to stop, then stop," he said.

However, Bambang claimed that the investigation team would take the case to the next stage. "If you go to the next stage, it's certain, if you fulfill the elements, you will continue if you don't stop. If you go to the next stage, it's certain because we explain article by article," said Bambang.

Previously, JoMan officially reported Jakarta State University (UNJ) Lecturer Ubedilah Badrun to Polda Metro Jaya. The report relates to allegations of slander.

This report relates to Ubedilah who also reported Gibran Rakabuming Raka and Kaesang Pangarep to the KPK. Where, the two children of President Joko Widoso are said to have business relations with the children of high-ranking PT SM, the parent of PT PMH who was involved in the 2015 forest fire case.

The report has been registered with the number LP/B/239/I/2022/SPKT/Polda Metro Jaya, January 14, 2022.
