Alex Ikwechegh, a member of the House of Representatives representing Aba North and South Federal Constituency, is scheduled for arraignment at the Kuje Magistrate Court on Wednesday, FIJ has learnt.

The Inspector-General of Police’s (IGP) Special Investigation Unit is prosecuting him for assaulting Stephen Abuwatseya, a Bolt driver.

On the arraignment, Deji Adeyanju, an activist and human rights lawyer, said: “We are on our way to Kuje Magistrate Court for the arraignment of the honourable member who assaulted our client, Mr. Steven, a Bolt driver. The IGP’s Special Investigation Unit (SIU) is in charge of the investigation and prosecution.

“The media is invited to cover the arraignment, which is scheduled for 12 pm today at Kuje Magistrate.”

Abuwatseya filmed Ikwechegh on Sunday, slapping him and threatening to disappear him without consequences.

He also used the name of Kayode Egbetokun, the IGP, to threaten the driver.

Although he apologised on Tuesday, the House of Representatives referred the case to the House Committee on Ethics and Privilege to investigate and pass a resolution within two weeks.
