FCT Police Command Investigates Alleged Assault On Bolt Driver By Hon. Alexander Ikwechegh 

Posted on October 28, 2024

The FCT Police Command has received a report at the Maitama Divisional Headquarters regarding an incident involving a Bolt driver, Mr. Stephen Abuwatseya, and Hon. Alexander Ikwechegh, who represents the Aba North and South Federal Constituency in Abia State.

 

The incident occurred on October 27, 2024, at a residence on Zamfara Crescent, Maitama, Abuja.

 

According to SP Josephine Adeh,
Police Public Relations Officer, preliminary investigations indicate that Mr. Abuwatseya was delivering a package to Hon. Ikwechegh when a dispute arose concerning the method of delivery. During this altercation, Mr. Abuwatseya was reportedly physically assaulted.

 

The FCT Police Command expressed grave concern over Hon. Ikwechegh’s dismissive attitude toward the office of the Inspector General of Police following the incident. After allegedly slapping the victim, he reportedly remarked with contempt, “You can go ahead and call the Inspector General of Police,” demonstrating a troubling disregard for the authority of law enforcement.

 

Currently, the suspect is at the Maitama Police Station undergoing questioning.

Commissioner of Police, FCT, CP Olatunji Disu, has mandated a thorough investigation into the matter. He said the Command is committed to conducting an impartial investigation and ensuring justice in all cases. Upon completion of the investigation, appropriate legal action will be taken.
