TOBA - Toba Police mediated a land case in Galung Longat, Longat Village, Balige District, Toba Regency, North Sumatra.

The head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Toba Police, Ipda Jefriadi Silaban, said that mediation would result in good results for both parties.

Jefriadi said that not all problems that occur must be brought to the realm of law, if the problem can still be resolved amicably.

In the future, the police hope that the land problems that often occur today in Toba Regency can be resolved in a family way so that peace and security can be realized in the community.

"Mediation activities have been running smoothly and safely," he said in a written statement, Antara, Sunday, July 31.

Jefriadi explained, chronologically, the descendants of Opung Siputin Siahaan agreed to redeem a piece of land located in Galung Longat, Longat Village, Balige District from the Pomparan Opung Lambok Siahaan family (On behalf of Teguan Hotlin Siahaan/Ama Marnatal Siahaan) on Wednesday, June 1, 2022 and together with the Village Government, LAD, LKAD and other communities.

However, the family of Opung Lambok Siahaan remained adamant that they did not want to provide a pawn agreement to be redeemed by Opung Siputin Siahaan's pump.

​​​​​Opung Siputin Siahaan mortgaged the land as much as 300 cans of rice to Opung Jonner Siahaan and wrote it in writing in a letter of agreement.

Then Opung Jonner pawned the land again by giving the pawn agreement letter that Opong Jonner received to Opung Saruam Siahaan.

Furthermore, Opung Saruam again mortgaged the land in the same amount to Opong Lambok Siahaan.

"Both descendants of Opung Siputin and Teguan Hotlin Siahaan admit that the land of approximately 4 rante in Longat Longat Village, Balige District, Toba Regency belongs to the descendants of Opung Siputin Siahaan," said Jefriadi.
