“I Can Make You Disappear And Nothing Will Happen” – House Of Reps Member, Ikwechegh Slaps Bolt Driver

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

In a video seen by TrackNews Online Nigeria, the Bolt driver said he went to deliver something to the Lawmaker but he took offence and assaulted him just because 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 member of the House of representative 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.

A Facebook user Ogochukwu said ;” This is very disappointing coming from a Lawmaker but again it also shows that a lot of our elected political office holders should have no business in governance.”

“Imagine getting this violent because the bolt driver asked you come to the car and get your package. Imagine what he will do if it is a very serious offence committed against him.”
