Angered by the incident, a mob of youth from Asawase allegedly went to the Asawase police station to report the issue where the police told them they should go to the airport roundabout since that's the place the alleged police operatives came from.

"The police advised them to go to the Airport Roundabout police station to report the issue since that is the place where the men came from. The boys however insisted and this led to the vandalism of the police car, metre board, windows, some chairs and tables at the reception", one of the angry youth said.

Aziz, who commented on the developing incidents said it was very unfortunate that all these have happened, but the Asawase youth took the action out of anger. Describing his brother as an innocent person who was rather mistaken for other people's offence by the police, Aziz said the family was of much conviction that the truth will surely come out.
