He was subsequent taken to the office of the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) unit, otherwise known as Abattoir, located at Guzape.

Sowore's lawyers, Abubakar Marshal and Inibehe Effiong, who rushed to the facility were also prevented from seeing him.

The police officers attached to the gate asked the lawyers to vacate the premises, claiming there was no authorisation for them to see him.
