    I will make you disappear – Abia Rep, Alex Ikwechegh assaults Uber driver | VIDEO

    A member of the House of Representatives, Alex Ikwechegh, has been caught on camera assaulting an e-hailing (Bolt) driver, who went to deliver a package to him.

    The video was recorded by the driver whose name is yet unknown in Ikwechegh’s residence in Maitama, Abuja.

    The video depicted the visibly angered Reps member representing Aba North & South Federal Constituency (APGA) repeatedly slapping and insulting the driver for telling him to come out and get the snail the driver was meant to deliver to him.

    In the footage, Ikwechegh insisted that the request was disrespectful given his social status while threatening to make the driver “disappear” without facing any consequences.

    “Do you know who I am? I can make this man (driver) disappear in the whole of Nigeria and nothing will happen. Can you imagine this rat? I am not going to give this boy one naira of my money.

    “I am not going to call my policemen to beat you up, I will do that myself. I will show that I am a big brother to you, tie you up, lie you down and put you in my generator house. Do you know where you are? Because you saw me sitting outside here. Look at this monkey.”

    I’m truly sorry – Abia lawmaker, Ikwechegh apologises for assaulting Bolt driver

    A member of the House of Representatives, Alex Ikwechegh, has apologized publicly for assaulting an e-hailing (Bolt) driver, who went to his house to deliver a package to him.

    Ikwechegh, in a statement, admitted that his behaviour did not meet the standards required of a public official.

    He said “As a public servant, I recognise the trust placed in me by my constituents and the Nigerian people. My behaviour fell short of the standards expected of me, and for that, I am truly sorry.”

    Ikwechegh said he regretted the harm and embarrassment his actions had caused Abuwatseya, his constituents, and the public.

    He also confirmed his cooperation with the Nigerian Police, pledging to support their investigation and uphold accountability.

    “I, Honourable Alex Ikwechegh, Member of the House of Representatives, wish to address a deeply disturbing incident that occurred at my residence recently. A video has surfaced showing me engaging in unacceptable behaviour towards an Uber driver who came to deliver a waybill for me. I am deeply sorry for my actions and acknowledge that they were unacceptable and unbecoming of a public official.

    “As a public servant, I recognize the trust placed in me by my constituents and the Nigerian people. My behaviour fell short of the standards expected of me, and for that, I am truly sorry. I understand that my actions have caused harm and embarrassment to the driver, my constituents, and the nation at large.”
