Alleged Assault: We’re interrogating Alexander Ikwechegh – Police

The Maitama Police Division in Abuja is presently interrogating Hon. Alexander Ikwechegh, a member of the Abia State Home of Representatives, over his alleged assault on Bolt driver Mr. Stephen Abuwatseya following the supply of a package deal he requested.

Commissioner of Police for the FCT, CP Olatunji Disu, has mandated a radical investigation into the matter, and acceptable authorized motion will likely be taken upon its completion.

In a press release signed by SP Josephine Adeh, spokesperson for the Command, it was emphasised that the police are dedicated to conducting an neutral investigation and making certain justice in all instances.

The assertion reads: “The FCT Police Command has obtained a report on the Maitama Divisional Headquarters relating to an incident involving 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.

“Preliminary investigations point out that Mr. Abuwatseya was delivering a package deal to Hon. Alexander Ikwechegh when a dispute arose regarding the technique of supply.

“Throughout this altercation, Mr. Abuwatseya was reportedly bodily assaulted.

“The FCT Police Command expresses grave concern over Hon. Alexander Ikwechegh’s dismissive perspective towards the workplace of the Inspector General of Police following the incident.

“After allegedly slapping the sufferer, he reportedly remarked with contempt, ‘You possibly can go forward and name the Inspector General of Police,’ demonstrating a troubling disregard for the authority of legislation enforcement.

“At present, the suspect is on the Maitama Police Station present process questioning.

“Commissioner of Police, FCT, CP Olatunji Disu, has mandated a radical investigation into the matter. The Command is dedicated to conducting an neutral investigation and making certain justice in all instances.

“Upon completion of the investigation, acceptable authorized motion will likely be taken.”
