A member of the House of Representatives representing Aba North and South Federal Constituency (APGA), Alex Ikwechegh, on Sunday assaulted an e-hailing (Bolt) driver who went to deliver a package to him.

A now-viral video recorded by the yet-to-be identified driver showed the Reps member repeatedly slapping and insulting the driver for demanding his delivery fee, querying if the driver knew who he was talking to.

Ikwechegh claimed the driver disrespected him for telling him to come out and get the snail he was meant to deliver to him given his social status.
