SEMARANG- Excerpts of the interview with former Purworejo Police Chief AKBP Rizal Marito with a national TV reporter in May 2021 suddenly went viral on Twitter's timeline. In the clip, Rizal mentions Dhikr 'Hasbunallah Wani'mal Deputy'.

Responding to the viral footage, the Head of Public Relations of the Central Java Police Kombes Pol M Iqbal Al Qudusy explained that the content was an old video clip, which was deliberately re-viralized by irresponsible parties.

"The video footage is an interview snippet of the Old Purworejo Police Chief (AKBP Rizal Marito) in May 2021. It was deliberately viral again to make the situation in Wadas Purworejo Unconducive," said Iqbal in a statement received, Tuesday, February 15.

"Currently the situation of Wadas Bener Purworejo is very conducive, the TNI and Polri carry out various social services activities in Wadas village and we are trying to re-knit social communication between residents. added Iqbal.

Iqbal suspects that the content was uploaded by people who deliberately confuse the already conducive atmosphere.

"Currently, the Head of the Purworejo Police is held by AKBP Fahrurozi since August 12, 2021, so the Diction / title in the media seems as if the current Police Chief who gave the statement was misinformed," explained Iqbal.

Iqbal also questioned what the goals of the parties who deliberately brought back the recording of the interview with AKBP Rizal Marito with the TV One reporter in May 2021.

"In the video footage, a TV One reporter did an interview with Rizal Marito about 9 months ago, why has it just gone viral now?" Iqbal asked fellow journalists, Monday, February 14.

Iqbal hopes that the public will check and filter before sharing the information that is scattered on social media.

According to Iqbal, social media is often used as a tool for irresponsible people for their own interests. This includes clouding the already good atmosphere of Wadas, said Iqbal.

He hoped that the public would be wiser in responding to the rise of news stories including hoax news in the media related to Wadas Village.

"People should not be trapped in negative framing created by irresponsible parties. We ask the public to be wise and careful," concluded Iqbal
