SOLOK - The head of the Solok Regency DPRD, Dodi Hendra, was reported to the Solok Police on suspicion of taking land owned by a resident named Adiwijoyo (47) in Nagari Koto Hilalang, Kubung District, Solok Regency, West Sumatra.

"I reported the chairman of the Solok Regency DPRD regarding the seizure of my certified land," said the reporter who claimed to be the owner of Adiwijoyo's land in Arosuka, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, July 13.

Adi felt aggrieved and had difficulty working on the land because Dodi Hendra's side admitted that the land already belonged to him, and even a stake was put in Dodi Hendra's name.

"On his admission, we were prevented from measuring and working on the land," he said.

Adi said the area of land being fought for is around 4.4 hectares, consisting of two hectares of rice fields and the rest is desert land.

Lawyer Fatmawelly said that his party accompanied Adiwijoyo to the Solok Resort Police regarding reporting the Chairperson of the Solok Regency DPRD for land grabbing as stated in Article 385 of the Criminal Code.

The article regulates crimes directly related to land ownership with a maximum prison sentence of four years.

In addition, the Head of Criminal Investigation Unit, Iptu Rifki Yudha Ersanda, confirmed that there was a report on the alleged seizure of land belonging to a local resident on behalf of Adiwijoyo by Dodi Hendra.

"We have received the report and we will call the relevant parties for questioning," he said.

In response, the chairman of the Solok Regency DPRD, Dodi Hendra, admitted that he had purchased the land from the land owner through a notary on October 6, 2013.

"I have proof of the sale and purchase," he said.

Dodi said that he bought the land covering an area of 32 rice fields worth Rp. 150 million on October 6, 2013.

He said that after buying the land, there were even people who claimed to be the owner of the land and sold it back to someone else.

"I also reported the person to the police and it is safe," he said.

Then after that, Dodi received another news from someone that someone had already certified the land in the name of Wijaya Taulani, not Adiwijoyo.
