Punch reported that the police called the incident an altercation. Vanguard reported that the police dismissed reports that Sowore was kidnapped by armed men in the state capital, describing the incident as an altercation with individuals at a restaurant around the Dalimore area.

Sources differ: Punch reports Sowore disputes the police's altercation description, while Vanguard reports the police dismissed kidnapping reports and placed the altercation at a restaurant near Dalimore.
