Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has moved to arraign Abia Federal Lawmaker, representing Aba North and Aba South constituency in Federal House of Representatives Alex Ikwechegh, before the Kuje Magistrate Court today.
This followed accusations of assault on Steven Abuwatseya, a Bolt driver.
The investigation and prosecution are being led by the Inspector General of Police’s Special Investigation Unit (SIU) is a response to a viral video.
The video shows Ikwechegh allegedly striking Abuwatseya multiple times and issuing threats to “make him disappear,” using his position to intimidate the driver.
Investigation has revealed that the lawmaker also refused to pay Abuwatseya for delivery of snails, claiming to be “above the law.”
Deji Adeyanju, counsel for Abuwatseya, confirmed the scheduled arraignment.
The case has sparked public outrage, drawing attention to the treatment of workers and the importance of accountability, regardless of status or position.
