Hoaks Of Bang Haji Rhoma Irama's Sandals Disappeared During Prayers At The Banjarmasin Mosque, The Police Detected False News Spreaders

BANJARMASIN - Head of Public Relations of the South Kalimantan Police, Kombes Mochamad Rifa'i, said that his party had pocketed the name of the creator of the hoax video content "Rhoma Irama" in Banjarmasin.

"The Cyber Sub-Directorate Investigator will then summon the person concerned for clarification as soon as possible," he said in Banjarmasin, as reported by ANTARA, Friday, July 22.

Kombes Rifa'i explained that the results of the examination would later reveal the real intent and purpose of the creator or uploader of the video content to social media.

However, in handling the case report, the police continue to prioritize peaceful settlement efforts.

"So put forward the principle of ultimum remedium, meaning that criminal law is used as a last resort in terms of law enforcement," he explained.

Therefore, after being clarified to the reported party, the investigator then sought mediation to the reporting party, namely the Management Board of the Sabilal Muhtadin Banjarmasin Grand Mosque.

It is known to be widely circulated on social media, a 20-second video containing the voice of a man claiming to be the committee of the Sabilal Muhtadin Banjarmasin Mosque who announced that there had been an incident of missing sandals belonging to "King of Dangdut" Rhoma Irama when he was a preacher and imam of Friday prayers at the Sabilal Muhtadin Grand Mosque on Last Friday (15/7).

As a result, the Sabilal Muhtadin Banjarmasin Grand Mosque Management Agency made a report to the Cyber Sub-Directorate V of the Directorate of Special Criminal Investigation at the South Kalimantan Police on suspicion of defamation and violation of Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions (UU ITE).
