One of the suspects, Ocholi Edicha, confessed during interrogation that he was the leader of the gang. He confessed to slapping Mrs Salome Abuh on the day of the election, but denied the burning down of her house.

The Commissioner of Police  called for calm and assured that the perpetrators would not go unpunished,. He also said that efforts were being made to arrest other fleeing members of the gang.
