UMNO Supreme Council member Lokman Noor Adam was released today after spending the night in the Dang Wangi lock-up in Kuala Lumpur. 

The Pemantau president was allowed to leave about 10.30am today, about 12 hours after his arrest at around 10pm last night. 

Lokman was called up by the Bukit Aman Crime Investigations Department over a video clip in which he claims the Pakatan Harapan government is protecting the killers of fireman Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim. 

Adib was allegedly beaten up on November 27 by rioters at the Seafield Maha Mariamman temple in Subang Jaya. He died three weeks later in the hospital. 

Pemantau secretary Lisa Yahaya said in a statement yesterday that Lokman was arrested at 2pm when he went to the police station to give a statement.

He was taken to the Dang Wangi police headquarters at 10pm, she said. 

Police have yet to make an official statement, but sources said Lokman is under investigation for sedition. – January 11, 2019.
