The Nigeria Police Force has issued a statement regarding a viral video featuring House of Representatives member Alex Ifeanyi Mascot Ikwechegh allegedly assaulting a Bolt driver. The incident, which occurred late at night on October 27, 2024, in Maitama, Abuja, shows Ikwechegh confronting the driver after he refused to leave his car to deliver a package.
In the disturbing footage shared online, the lawmaker can be seen slapping the driver, identified as Mr. Stephen Abuwatseya, multiple times and making threatening remarks about making him "disappear."
In response to the incident, the Nigerian Police confirmed that they are taking the matter seriously. "The FCT Command is actively handling the case following Mr. Abuwatseya's official report at the Maitama Divisional Headquarters," the police stated on their social media platforms. They also emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of law enforcement, urging the public to avoid using the name or office of the Inspector-General of Police to intimidate others, as such actions undermine the values of impartiality upheld by the IGP’s office.
