JAKARTA - The Public Relations Division of the National Police confirmed that the narrative that the National Police clarified the 30 kilograms of evidence of methamphetamine was lost because it melted due to hot weather was a hoax.
"This is a hoax news," said the Head of Public Relations of the National Police, Inspector General Johnny Eddizon Isir, as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, March 4.
On an account on the X social media, there is a picture of the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo which reads: "The National Police clarifies that 30 kilograms of evidence of methamphetamine has melted due to hot weather". Along with the picture upload, a post was also uploaded: "Which area is hot? It rains and clouds every day. It's a mess".
Meanwhile, the upload has been deleted.
Due to the hoax upload, Johnny also appealed to the entire community to jointly increase digital literacy and critical thinking through the process of checking each information.
He also invited the public to consider first whether the information they received was true or not, useful or not, before sharing it with others.
"Let's keep a healthy and productive digital space and be constructive for the progress of society, nation, and country," he said.
