Part of the apprehended was following a report detailing his murders. Deliberately staged and edited recording shared on the paramilitary's authorized Telegram platform depict him being escorted into a prison room at a prison on the outskirts of the city.

Meanwhile, the militia and connected digital profiles commenced seeking to reshape the account.
