The Directorate General of Corrections (Ditjenpas) under the Ministry\nof Immigration and Corrections has provided a clarification regarding a\nviral video depicting a raid on the official residence of the Head of\nthe Waingapu Correctional Institution in East Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara\n(NTT).<\/p>\n
The video, which has recently resurfaced on social media, is not a\nnew event. Ditjenpas confirmed that the footage captures an incident\nthat occurred in November 202lag and that the case has already been\naddressed.<\/p>\n
Ditjenpas Spokesperson, Rika Aprianti, stated that the official,\nidentified by the initials RB, who was serving as the Head of Waingapu\nPrison at the time, was sanctioned after the case was uncovered. \u201cThe\nvideo is an old video from November 2024,\u201d she said in a written\nstatement on Saturday, 1 August 2026.<\/p>\n
According to Rika, RB was immediately removed from his position,\nunderwent investigation, and was subject to administrative sanctions in\naccordance with applicable regulations. Currently, RB holds the status\nof a civil servant (ASN) at the Ditjenpas Regional Office in Jambi\nProvince, but he has been temporarily suspended as he undergoes legal\nproceedings.<\/p>\n
Rika explained that RB is currently being detained by the Jambi\nRegional Police in connection with alleged involvement in narcotics\ntrafficking. \u201cHe is suspected of involvement in drug trafficking and has\nbeen processed according to the applicable regulations,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She emphasised that the video currently circulating is a re-upload\naccompanied by inaccurate narratives, which has the potential to mislead\nthe public. \u201cThe commitment of Ditjenpas remains the same: there is zero\ntolerance for violations. If proven, strict sanctions will be applied,\u201d\nshe asserted.<\/p>\n
Rika also expressed appreciation for the public\u2019s attention to the\nissue but reminded the public not to hastily trust unverified\ninformation. \u201cWe hope for the public\u2019s support in always prioritising\nverified information, understanding the full context of an event, and\nnot spreading information that has the potential to cause disinformation\nor misunderstanding in the public sphere,\u201d Rika added.<\/p>\n
Previously, a three-minute video circulated widely across various\nsocial media platforms. The footage showed officers discovering a woman\ndressed in minimal clothing, suspected to be an unauthorised occupant of\nthe official residence. The accompanying narrative suggested the raid\nwas conducted following reports of alleged abuse of authority regarding\nthe use of state-owned official housing.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/directorate-general-of-corrections-clarifies-viral-video-of-raid-on-waingapu-prison-chiefs-official-residence-1785560237", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
