Apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has called for the immediate arrest of the House of Representatives member representing Aba North and South, Alex Ikwechegh for assaulting a cab driver in Abuja.
Ohanaeze expressed disappointment with Ikwechegh's 'appalling' action against the cab driver, stating that it tarnished the reputation of the Southeast region. An altercation had ensued between the lawmaker and the cab driver, Stephen Abuwatseya during the delivery of a package in Maitama area of Abuja. The disagreement led to the lawmaker assaulting the cab driver, threatening that he can make him disappear from Nigeria.
Stephen Abuwatseya. 'This incident, characterized by the use of threatening language and physical aggression, not only endangers the life of an individual but also tarnishes the reputation of the Southeast region. 'It is vital to emphasize that the actions of Rep Ikwechegh stand in stark contrast to the cherished norms and values that define us as a people. 'As Igbo, we are driven by principles of respect, communal harmony, and the protection of the vulnerable.
