The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has invited House of Representatives member Alex Mascot Ikwechegh for brutally assaulting a Bolt driver in Abuja.
SaharaReporters on Monday gathered that the lawmaker was still being questioned by the FCT Commissioner of Police as at the time of filing the report.
SaharaReporters earlier reported that in a viral video making the rounds on social media, Ikwechegh was captured brutalising an e-hailing taxi driver who went to his (the lawmaker) residence in Abuja.
Ikwechegh, who represents Aba North and South Federal Constituency of Abia State, repeatedly slapped the driver and hurled insults at him for asking him to come to his car to collect what he (the driver) was there to deliver.
Ikwechegh also threatened to make the driver disappear from Nigeria, saying nothing would happen if he did, even if the driver called the Inspector General of Police.
The lawmaker refused to pay the driver and boasted that he is a member of the House of Representatives. He broke the driver’s phone and tore his clothes for “disrespecting him”.
He also threatened to beat the driver and lock him in his generator house to make him suffer.
