BANJARMASIN - The Chief of Police for Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, Kombes Sabana A Martosumito, apologized and explained that the police officer who had committed immoral acts against a student at Lambung Mangkurat University (ULM) had been fired.

This was conveyed by the Banjarmasin Police Chief when he met the Deputy Chancellor III of ULM for Student Affairs and Alumni, Dr Muhammad Fauzi, representing the Chancellor of ULM, Prof. Sutarto Hadi, and the Dean of the Faculty of Law ULM, Prof. Dr. Abdul Halim Barkatullah.

The Banjarmasin Police Chief directly apologized on behalf of the institution and personally to ULM, Tuesday, January 25.

"Institutionally and personally, we strongly condemn this incident," said Kombes Sabana, quoted by Antara.

Sabana also explained that the individual had undergone a trial on the Police code of ethics at the South Kalimantan Regional Police with the decision to dishonorably discharge starting in December 2021.

The Banjarmasin Police Chief also touched on the matter of filing an appeal against the Bripka BT perpetrators regarding the verdict on the criminal sentence handed down by the panel of judges at the Banjarmasin District Court with a sentence of 2 years and 6 months.

"The appeal must be rejected because it has hurt the community and tarnished an institution that does not reflect the figure of a protector, protector and public servant," he said.

Kombes Sabana also promised to improve the internal supervision of his staff in accordance with the Precise Chief of Police's priority program and hoped that the cooperative relationship that had existed so far between ULM and the Banjarmasin Police would continue to run well.

Previously, Sabana had personally apologized to the victim through the comments column on the victim's Instagram account post.
