Stephen Abuwatseya, the Bolt driver who was allegedly assaulted by Alex Ikwechegh, a member of the house of representatives, has apologized to the lawmaker.
The saga which captured widespread attention, initially stemmed from a disagreement over a package delivery that escalated into a confrontation.
The incident occurred on October 27, 2024, in Maitama, Abuja, when Ikwechegh, a member of the All-Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), appeared to have slapped and insulted Abuwatseya after the driver asked him to approach the car to receive his package.
The Abia lawmaker was summoned by the disciplinary committee of the house of representatives.
He was also taken to a magistrate court in Kuje, Abuja, where he pleaded not guilty to a three-count charge. He was granted a N500,000 bail. The case was adjourned to November 8, 2024.
Weeks after, in a supprising twist of events, a video surfaced where the driver was seen expressing regret for his role in the altercation, acknowledging that his actions may have provoked the lawmaker’s response. The bolt driver further asked Nigerians for understanding and urged unity.
