Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A cab driver, Stephen Abuwatseya, has revealed that Abia House of Representatives member, Alex Ikwechegh, bundled him to the Police Station after assaulting him at his house.<\/p>\n

Ikwechegh also threatened to make the Uber driver \u2018disappear\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Rep member equally threatened to lock the driver up in his generator house.<\/p>\n

Speaking with VeryDarkMan on Monday, the driver said Ikwechegh called Police officers who bundled him to their station.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the video he called some Police officers, I don\u2019t know the division they are assigned to, they bundled me to the station.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey didn\u2019t allow me to take my calls,\u201d the driver said.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cI was taken to the IPO\u2019s office, who spoke to him outside the office. After the call the IPO said he was going to do investigation at the honourable\u2019s (Rep member) house in Maitama.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
