The video shows the visibly angry lawmaker verbally berating and cursing the driver, reportedly taking offence at being asked to step out of his convenience to receive his items.
A House of Representatives member, Honorable Alex Mascot Ikwechegh has been lambasted on social media for assaulting and threatening an Uber driver.
He was seen on tape assaulting the driver at his residence in Maitama, Abuja.
According to the driver, tensions escalated when he requested that the Honourable representing the Aba North & South Federal Constituency come outside to receive his delivery personally.
Ikwechegh allegedly threatened to make the driver disappear and nothing will happen.

ChuksOhaxx opined: “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.”
HeDontMakeNoise noted: “I will make you dissappear and nothing will happen” ke??? This is enough to ruin his political career permanently but… You can already see ret@rded Nigerians, who are so in love with their chains, trying to justify these shameful actions.”
