National Police chief Gen. Tito Karnavian attended a sermon at Al-Riyadh Mosque in Kwitang, Central Jakarta on Sunday morning.

Tito, who arrived at 8 a.m., was welcomed by staff of the congregation.

Tito said he regularly attended public sermon in Kwitang since the days when he was still an officer with the Central Jakarta Police.

“I know Habib Abdurrohman well,” Tito said, as quoted by the news agency Antara.

He said his visit was purely to listen to Habib’s sermon and not related to the situation in Jakarta.

“Once again, this is not the first time I come here,” he said.

Tito wore white Muslim attire and a black peci (hat) and rushed into the building after briefly talking to journalists.

With him were National Police spokesperson Insp. Gen. Boy Rafli Amar, Jakarta Military Command chief Maj. Gen. Teddy Lhaksmana, Jakata Police deputy chief Brig. Gen. Suntana and Jakarta Police spokesperson Sr. Comr. Awi Setiyono. (evi)
