The Nigeria Police Force has initiated an impartial investigation into allegations involving House of Representatives member Alex Ikwechegh, who reportedly assaulted Bolt driver Stephen Abuwatseya during a delivery in Abuja. According to Naija News, the altercation occurred in Maitama when the driver asked Ikwechegh to come to the car to receive his package.
A widely circulated video allegedly shows Ikwechegh, who represents Aba North and South Federal Constituency, slapping and threatening the driver, claiming his political position would protect him from any legal consequences. Reports also suggest that Ikwechegh damaged the driver’s phone, tore his clothes, and refused to pay for the service.
In a statement by Force Public Relations Officer ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the police affirmed their commitment to a fair investigation, emphasizing justice for all involved. The incident, which took place on October 27, 2024, at Zamfara Crescent in Maitama, has garnered significant attention, with the police pledging to uphold objectivity in the case.
