In an interview conducted on 9 October, Nkabinde made allegations against National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola. He revealed that he was allegedly assaulted by members of the South African Police Service. He added that Masemola was to be blamed if anything happened to him.
When his turn to appear before the Committee came, he was accused of contradicting his statements and lying in Parliament. He appeared before the Committee on 13 November 2025 and gave different dates for the meeting which allegedly took place between Mchunu and North West businessman Brown Mogotsi.
