POLICE PRESS RELEASE]* EKITI POLICE COMMAND CONFIRMS DISCHARGE OF SOWORE AND OTHER VICTIMS FOLLOWING RESTAURANT INCIDENT; INVESTIGATION CONTINUES In furtherance of the incident involving an alleged attack on Mr. Omoyele Sowore, the African Action Congress (AAC) presidential aspirant, and the ongoing investigation into the matter, the Ekiti State Police Command wishes to inform the public that Mr. Sowore, alongside other persons affected by the incident, have been treated and discharged from the Police Cottage Hospital, Ado-Ekiti. The incident, which occurred on Friday, October 30, 2026, at a Restaurant around Dalimore Area of Ado-Ekiti, involved a fracas between Mr. Sowore and some yet to be identified individuals. Following the incident, the Police were immediately alerted, and operatives swiftly mobilised to the scene, rescued those affected and ensured they received prompt medical attention. The Command further confirms that Mr. Sowore was discharged at about 4:30 p.m. and has since departed for Ikogosi Warm Springs Resort, where he was initially lodged. Meanwhile, efforts by the Police to obtain his formal statement and personal account of the incident proved unsuccessful, as he declined on several occasions to make a statement to assist the ongoing investigation. The Command also wishes to clarify that Mr. Sowore did not formally notify the Police Command of his arrival in Ekiti State or communicate his movement within the State. Such notification would have enabled the Police to make adequate security arrangements and provide the necessary protection during his stay. However, the Commissioner of Police, Ekiti State Command, CP Falade Adegoroye Michael, has ordered a discreet and comprehensive investigation into the incident, with a view to establishing the circumstances surrounding it, identifying all persons involved and ensuring that anyone found culpable is brought to justice. The Command wishes to reassure members of the public that the security situation in Ado-Ekiti and its environs remains calm. Meanwhile, intensified patrols, surveillance and intelligence-led operations across identified black spots are ongoing to sustain public safety. The Command urges members of the public to disregard sensational and unverified reports circulating on social media and rely on credible information from official sources. The Ekiti State Police Command remains committed to the protection of lives and property and reiterates its readiness to provide adequate security for all residents, visitors and political stakeholders, irrespective of their political affiliations or status. _*E-SIGNED:*_ SP ABUTU SUNDAY, ANIPR POLICE PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICER EKITI STATE COMMAND *30TH OCTOBER, 2026.*
