The Nigeria Police Force, NPF has reacted after a member of the House of Representatives from Abia State, Alexander Mascot Ikwechegh assaulted an Uber driver, Stephen Abuwatseya.

NPF warned the public against using the name or office of the Inspector General of Police to threaten others during altercations.

“The FCT Command is actively handling the case following Mr. Abuwatseya’s official report at the Maitama Divisional Headquarters.

“The Police Force also urges the public to refrain from using the name or office of the Inspector-General of Police to intimidate others, as such actions undermine the values of impartiality that the IGP’s office upholds.”
