He was reported to be arrested and released after apologizing.
But in his reaction to the report, Iyke said he never slapped anybody.
Jim Iyke gave a different version of the story when he spoke with The NETNG.

His words: “The truth is that I was running late for a flight to Abuja, and my people had sent my luggage a flight ahead. I tried hard not to miss the flight, but by the time I made it to the gate, the captain had almost shut the aircraft.
“One of the security guards who saw me struggling to make my way in got overzealous and got into an argument with my P.A. Then they started exchanging words and pointing fingers at the heat of the moment.
“At the end of the day, we couldn’t even make it (the flight) and when we were coming back, the airport assistant went to call the police and said my Personal Assistant hit his face and pushed him.
“But when the policeman saw that it was me, I told them to let us go downstairs to resolve the matter. It was an issue of tempers fraying. We then went downstairs and the matter was resolved… I was shocked upon my arrival to hear that I was arrested by the Police. Which Police?”
