    The House of Representatives has asked Nigerians to allow due process of investigation by the Nigeria Police Force on the alleged assault by lawmaker, Alex Ikwechegh against Uber driver, Stephen Abuwatseya.

    The Spokesperson of the House of Representatives, Akin Rotimi, disclosed this in a statement on Monday.

    DAILY POST reports Ikwechegh was seen on video assaulting Abuwatseya.

    The lawmaker, representing Abia State, had threatened to make the Abuwatseya ‘disappear’.




    In response to the incident and wide-spread outrage, the police said it has detained Ikwechegh and commenced an investigation.

    Reacting to the development, the lawmakers said they are saddened by the development.

    “The House of Representatives is monitoring media reports concerning an alleged incident involving Rep. Alex Ikwechegh (APGA, Abia).

    “These reports, which have garnered widespread media coverage and public attention, detail accusations of a physical confrontation with an e-hailing driver, Citizen Stephen Abuwatseya, and the use of threatening language.

    “The 10th Assembly, House of Representatives, takes these allegations very seriously. As elected officials, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of ethical conduct and accountability in our official engagements and privately.

    “Any behaviour that falls short of these standards is a matter of concern, and we are committed to addressing such issues with the utmost seriousness.

    “We are aware that the matter is now before the Nigeria Police, and we urge the public to allow the due process of investigation to unfold. We welcome further engagement from the public on the subject, which can be shared via email at akintunde.rotimi@nass.gov.ng or akinrotimi@gmail.com, even as we continue to monitor the situation,” the statement reads.
