Following the attack, the Police visited the scene, but the suspects had bolted. 

In a video shared on social media, two unidentified men confronted the victim in his seat and threatened to slap him if he continued to speak. 

Gariba then stood up and left the studio with the attackers. 

Gariba in a media interview later said he had criticized the person for discussing the Abudu and Andani conflict on a political campaign platform, which he believes was the reason for the attack.
