Governor Soludo called the incident “mindless and careless.”

Governor Soludo questioned what could have justified the destruction of public property when inspecting the extent of the damage with the State Commissioner of Police, Mr Echeng Echeng, and the State Director of the Department of State Services.

When captured, he promised that the criminals would face the full force of the law.
