In a press statement dated January 28, the Service indicated that the rifle was returned by the driver of the vehicle.

Following the driver's claims the officer, Inspector Sulemana Adam, has been referred to the Police Professional Standards Bureau (PPSB) to allow for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
