Toba –
The District Government (Pemkab) of Toba, North Sumatra (North Sumatra) gave an explanation regarding the presence of a man who was said to be in a positive condition for Corona mistreated villagers. The district government said the man was not abused, but was arrested for running away while undergoing self-isolation (Isoman).
“Not for violence, only for security. I see the village community is also very concerned about Mr Selamat Sianipar,” said Toba Regent, Poltak Sitorus, (Saturday 24/7/2021).
Poltak said this after his party had met the family of Selamat to get information related to this. Poltak said the Toba Regency government had brought Selamat to the hospital for treatment.
“We have placed him in the Porsea Hospital,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Head of Pardomuan Village, Toba, Timbang Sianipar, said that his party was conducting self-isolation for the victim named Selamat Sianipar at a location that had been approved by the family. The need for survivors during isolation has also been fulfilled by the village government.
“1 sack of rice, 1 egg, 2 cans of dencis, salt, cooking oil, bath soap, we have prepared for you Happy Sianipar,” said the Pardomuan village head.
Even though he has been placed in a location far from his home, Selamat is called back to his home. The village party who knew about this then went to the location of Selamat’s house.
“Back to his parents’ house again, so I immediately went to Selamat Sianipar’s brother’s house,” he explained.
Then the wife of Selamat, Risma Sitorus, also admitted that her husband ran away while undergoing self-isolation. She admitted that her husband was detained by residents because he and his son had run away before being hugged by Selamat.
“My son wants to be hugged, ‘I don’t want to, sir’. We ran. So what did the residents do, we ran downstairs,” said Risma.
Meanwhile, the Head of Public Relations of the North Sumatra Police, Kombes Hadi Wahyudi, who came to the location, also said that this incident occurred only because the residents wanted to protect Selamat who fled during isoman. The residents secured Selamat who was constantly chasing to hug the residents.
“This was done by residents as a security measure because the person concerned was shouting that there was no COVID. The person concerned left the house while spitting on people who passed him and hugging people. After being secured, the person concerned was also immediately taken to the Hospital in Silaen, but this has been 2 times run from the hospital,” said Hadi.
Hadi said his party had also inspected the family and villagers over the incident.
“Residents who took part in securing it have also taken information to clarify the incident of the viral video,” he explained.
