JAKARTA - Solo Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka provided clarification regarding his name, which was said to be the alleged perpetrator who was arrested by the Saudi Arabian police due to raising the party flag in front of the Prophet's Mosque.
The clarification was conveyed by Gibran via his Twitter account, @gibran_tweet, Friday 10 February.
"Please allow me to clarify the news in several media," tweeted Gibran.
The eldest son of President Jokowi explained that the name of the person arrested by Gibran was true. However, not Gibran himself, but a different Indonesian citizen (WNI).
"Through this post, I want to clarify that the Gibran referred to in the news is not me but Gibran, the son of the Karawang DPRD chairman who unfurled the @PDemocrat flag at the Prophet's Mosque," said Gibran.
This clarification was conveyed to the public because the issue of Gibran's name being arrested by the Saudi Arabian police had been widely discussed in Solo.
The father from Jan Ethes and La Lembah Manah also asked Solo residents not to worry because of the fact that Gibran was not the leader of Solo City who was meant in the news.
"Once again, through this post I appeal to the public, especially Solo residents, not to panic over this news. Thank you. Sorry if you don't like it," he said.
