Alex Ikwechegh, member representing Aba North & South Federal Constituency, has been suspended for allegedly assaulting an Uber driver during a delivery at his residence in Maitama, Abuja, which is currently trending.

According to the driver, whose name is yet unknown, tensions escalated when he requested that Ikwechegh come outside to receive his delivery personally.

In the video, the lawmaker repeatedly insisted that the request was disrespectful given his social status.

As the altercation intensified, the footage captured Ikwechegh slapping the driver multiple times, insisting the request was disrespectful given his social status.

At one point in the recording, Ikwechegh is allegedly heard threatening the driver, claiming he could make him “disappear” without facing any consequences.

“Do you know who I am? I can make this man (driver) disappear from 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 you that I am a big brother. I will 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,” he said. 

Meanwhile, the video has sparked widespread outrage across social media, with calls for accountability and justice.
