BANDAR LAMPUNG - The Directorate of General Criminal Investigation (Ditreskrimum) of the Lampung Regional Police, arrested one of the followers of Khilafatul Muslimin, Chairuddin alias Abu Bakar (71). The perpetrator was arrested for spreading false news or hoaxes.
"Yes, it is true that the Ditreskrimum ranks of the Lampung Police have arrested a person named Chairuddin alias Abu Bakar, on Monday (4/7)," said Head of Public Relations of the Lampung Police, Kombes Zahwani Pandra Arsyad, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, July 6.
He said that based on information received from investigators from the Ditreskrimum of the Lampung Police, Abu Bakar was involved in the case being handled, namely, LP/A/612/VI/2022/SPKT. Ditreskrimum/Polda Lampung, June 11, 2022.
Abu Bakar is alleged to have broadcast false news or news and deliberately published the truth among the people, in accordance with Article 14 paragraph (1) and paragraph (2) and/or Article 15 of Law Number 1 of 1946, concerning the Criminal Law Regulations.
Pandra explained that the delivery of false information was not only in the midst of the community, but videos of Abu Bakar also circulated calling for an anti-Islam government and news in the media. In addition, he is also suspected of spreading hoaxes led by Khilafatul Muslimim Abdul Qadir Hasan Baraja who was arrested while praying at dawn.
"This statement was issued by Abu Bakar after the arrest of the supreme leader of the Khilafatul Muslimin, Abdul Qodir Hasan Baraja by the Metro Jaya Police at the Khilafatul Muslimin Headquarters on Jalan WR Supratman, Bumiwaras, Telukbetung, Bandarlampung City on June 7, 2022," said Pandra.
According to him, it was from the arrest of his highest leadership that the suspect Abu Bakar conveyed false information. The video circulating about the arrest which was said to be during the Fajr prayer was also not true, even though the arrest was after the Fajr prayer and the situation was clear.
As a result of his actions, Abu Bakar was charged with Article 14 paragraphs 1 and 2 and Article 15 of Law Number 1 of 1946 regarding the handling of the crime of broadcasting false news, with a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, he added.
From the results of the arrest, Ditreskrimum personnel managed to confiscate a number of evidences, namely, 1 (one) memory card, containing a video of the spread of false news by Abu Bakar, 1 (one) short video containing the arrests made by the Ditreskrimum Polda Metro Jaya, 7 (seven) screenshots of comments from the cellphones of the witnesses who followed and watched the comments from Abu Bakar's video on social media.
"The temporary information we have is that Abu Bakar is not the Amir or the leader of the Khilafatul Muslimin in Bandar Lampung City," said Pandra.
