Nigerian Police Force has arranged Alex Ikwechegh, the federal representative for Aba North and South in Abia State, before the Kuje Magistrate Court at noon today over an alleged assault on a Bolt driver, Stephen Abuwatseya.

The incident, which occurred on October 27, has sparked widespread criticism, fueled by a viral video showing Ikwechegh in a physical altercation with Abuwatseya.

The Inspector General of Police’s Special Investigation Unit is leading the investigation into the case, following public demand for accountability from the lawmaker.

Prominent human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju, who is representing Abuwatseya, confirmed the court appearance and urged the media to cover the proceedings.
