A House of Representatives member, Honorable Alex Mascot Ikwechegh has been caught on camera assaulting an Uber driver during a delivery at his residence in Maitama, Abuja.
Ikwechegh is representing Aba North and South Federal Constituency under the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) at the lower chamber.
The incident allegedly occurred when the driver, who had made a delivery to Ikwechegh’s residence, refused to bring the delivered items, reported to be snails, into the house and instead asked the lawmaker to collect them himself.

The video has sparked widespread outrage across social media, with calls for accountability and justice.

@ChuksOhaxx said: “God don butter this guy bread.. find better lawyer and sue that man joor. Life changing opportunity with evidence. Lmao.”
@Seankleann reacted: “Even if he sues for assault, as a member of House of Representatives, I dont think the @PoliceNG will do justice to this case. I strongly doubt the outcome favoring that Uber Driver, do you know why? Bcos he’s a NOBODY. Just watch how the matter would be swept under the carpet.”
This is pure oppression and wickedness. so a Bolt driver went to deliver something to A Politician and this happen just because the driver asked the man to come to the car to pick up his stuff!
