The Commissioner of police in charge of Police Mobile Force at the Force Headquarters, identified the men following a directive from the Inspector-General of Police. Shogunle explained that the two policemen were attached to a private security company, Infinity Security Company and Davido engaged them to provide escort for him to his house while returning from outside Nigeria.

They have been tried in orderly room and punishment has been recommended. "The conduct of those policemenis unacceptable. They are no longer involved in any duty where they will carry any weapon and will be in detention until the process is over before they will be released," he said.
