JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya has arrested a man with the initials DB or Muhammad Umar, who threatened to behead the officers when FPI leader Rizieq Shihab was arrested on suspicion of inciting violations of health protocols.

Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Pol Yusri Yunus, said that DB's motive for making hate speech to the police was because he admired Rizieq Shihab.

"His motive was to be enthusiastic, he said. He said that his hate speech would behead the police if he was found detaining Rizieq Shihab's brother. Those were words in the media that he posted himself, he recorded himself, then he spread it himself," said Yusri at Polda Metro Jaya, Monday, December 14th.

Currently, the police are still investigating the case to find out the background of DB's identity so that they can make hate speech. Meanwhile, DB is charged with Article 28 of the ITE Law with a penalty of 6 years.

"We are currently conducting an examination. Every time we ask, I will make a mistake in the mouth, I'm sorry. But, we are still in the process according to the ITE legislation in Article 28, the threat of 6 years imprisonment," he explained.

It is known that in the video uploads that were spread, the man who claimed to be Muhammad Umar asked the police not to arrest Rizieq.

"Assalamualaikum Warohmatullahi wabarokatuh, I am Muhammad Umar. If Habib Rizieq is arrested, the police will confront me, the police will confront me and I will behead the police remember that," he was quoted as saying in the video.

Furthermore, a follow-up video circulating depicting the same man being flanked by a number of officers without wearing a uniform in the car.

An officer in the second video recording confirmed the statement to the man who claimed to be Muhammad Umar. "Hey you want to cut off your police? Yes?" asked the officer who recorded the video.

Then, the man who was suspected of being the threat to behead the police chief then gave an answer. He corrected his previous statement and admitted he was wrong. "No, sir, I was wrong, sir," he replied.
