The House of Representatives said it was monitoring media reports concerning an alleged incident involving Alex Ikwechegh (APGA-Abia).
This was contained in a statement issued by its spokesperson, Hon. Akin Rotimi, on a viral video in which the Rep attacked a Bolt driver.
The statement said the reports, which had garnered widespread media coverage and public attention, “detail accusations of a physical confrontation with an e-hailing driver, Citizen Stephen Abuwatseya, and the use of threatening language.”
It said the “10th Assembly takes the allegations very seriously.
“As elected officials, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of ethical conduct and accountability in our official engagements and privately.
“Any behaviour that falls short of these standards is a matter of concern, and we are committed to addressing such issues with the utmost seriousness.
“We are aware that the matter is now before the Nigeria Police, and we urge the public to allow the due process of investigation to unfold.
“We welcome further engagement from the public on the subject, which can be shared via email at akintunde.rotimi@nass.gov.ng, akinrotimi@gmail.com, even as we continue to monitor the situation.
“We remain dedicated to upholding the values of accountability, transparency, and ethical behaviour that define the 10th Assembly, House of Representatives. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.”
