JAKARTA - Head of the Army Information Service (Kadispenad) Brigadier General Tatang Subarna said that the circulation of posters on social media that said Ustaz Haikal Hasan would carry out activities at Battalion Para Raider 502/UY was not true or a hoax.

The Kadispenad explained that Ustaz Babe Haikal had previously asked for permission to hold recitation activities at the 502/UY Para Raider Infantry Battalion by inviting the general public.

"However, the activity did not get a permit from the relevant unit, given the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic," said Tatang in a written statement received in Jakarta, Antara, Sunday, January 23.

Moreover, the government is currently aggressively asking all levels of society to comply with health protocols and reduce mobility to prevent the spread of the latest variant of COVID-19, namely the Omicron variant.

Before the Ustaz Babe team received a rejection from the related unit, the IT team from Ustaz Babe Haikal had already made a poster and posted it on Instagram. although the event did not take place.

The Battalion for Raiders 502/UY has asked the Ustaz Babe Haikal Team to remove the poster in order to avoid misunderstanding in the community.

Furthermore, Battalion Para Raider 502/UY will ask the Ustaz Babe Haikal Team to apologize through a press statement explaining that the poster is not true and was carried out without the permission of Battalion Para Raider unit 502/UY.
