Police React After House Of Reps Member, Ikwechegh Slapped Bolt Driver

The Nigeria Police Force, or NPF, has responded to the assault on Stephen Abuwatseya, an Uber driver, by Alexander Mascot Ikwechegh, a member of the Abia State House of Representatives.

Police stated that they are looking into Monday’s event.

NPF cautioned the public against threatening people during altercations by utilizing the Inspector General of Police’s name or position.

During the attack, Ikwechegh allegedly threatened to have the cab driver vanish.

Remember how Chidi Odinkalu, the former chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, posted the incident’s footage on X?

Additionally, the representative threatened to lock the cabman in his generator home and beat him up.

Reacting, NPF posted on its X handle: “The Nigeria Police Force is aware of the incident between a Bolt driver, Mr. Stephen Abuwatseya, and Hon. Alexander Ikwegh, which took place on October 27, 2024, in Maitama, Abuja.

“The FCT Command is actively handling the case following Mr. Abuwatseya’s official report at the Maitama Divisional Headquarters.

“The Police Force also urges the public to refrain from using the name or office of the Inspector-General of Police to intimidate others, as such actions undermine the values of impartiality that the IGP’s office upholds.”

This act should be condemned completely. This is total abuse of office and power. Justice must prevail.

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy

One ❤️❤️❤️
