A Federal Lawmaker, representing Aba North and South Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, Alex Ikwechegh has allegedly assaulted a bolt driver in his compound in Abuja.

In a video seen by 9News Nigeria, the Bolt driver said he went to deliver something to the Lawmaler but he took offence and assaulted him just because the he asked the him to come to the car to pick up his package, which is snails he ordered from a vendor.

In the video, the lawmaker can be seen slapping the driver multiple times. Later the driver asked him “did you just slap me three times?”, which he replied, “twice and you will soon receive the third slap”.

Also, in the video, Ikwechegh was heard telling the vendor that he can make the driver disappear and nothing will happen.

“I can make you disappear in the whole of Nigeria and nothing will happen. Do you know who I am?”.

“I am a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and I can lock you up in my Generator House and nothing will happen,” Ikwechegh said in the viral video.

He also said he won’t ask the police officers protecting him to beat up the driver but will do it himself.

Meanwhile, the action has generated a mixed reaction on the social media.
