NIGERIAN LAWMAKER, ALEX IKWECHEGH, CAUGHT ON TAPE ASSAULTING AND THREATENING A BOLT DRIVER IN ABUJA.
.
A disturbing incident has surfaced involving Alex Ikwechegh, a member of the House of Representatives from Abia State, who brutally assaulted and threatened an e-hailing driver in Abuja. The altercation began when the driver asked Ikwechegh to come to his car to collect a package, which apparently infuriated the lawmaker.
Ikwechegh’s actions were caught on video and have sparked widespread outrage on social media. He slapped the driver three times, broke his phone, and tore his clothes, boasting that he’s a member of the House of Representatives and can make the driver “disappear” in Nigeria without consequences.
The driver remained calm and polite throughout the ordeal, repeatedly asking Ikwechegh to pay for the delivery service. However, Ikwechegh refused, hurling insults and threats, including locking the driver in his generator house to make him suffer.
The Nigerian Police Force has stepped in, cautioning against misuse of the Inspector-General of Police’s office to intimidate others. The FCT Command is handling the case, and an investigation is underway.
