Uber driver detained for 2 hours after assault incident
Cab driver Stephen Abuwatseya has reported that Alex Ikwechegh, a member of the Abia House of Representatives, assaulted him at his home and then took him to the police station.
Abuwatseya also claimed that Ikwechegh threatened to make him “disappear.”
The representative also threatened to imprison the driver in his generator house.
In an interview on Monday, the driver stated that Ikwechegh called police officers, who then took him to the station.
He added, “I was taken to the IPO’s office, who spoke to him outside the office. After the call the IPO said he was going to do investigation at the honourable’s (Rep member) house in Maitama.
“They kept me behind the counter for over two hours. After the IPO returned from his house, he asked me why I recorded the Reps member.
“The honourable came to the station and started calling me names. I left the station at 3:00 am and my car is still at the station.”
