The 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, stressing that it tarnished the reputation of the Southeast region.
Recall that an altercation had ensued between the lawmaker and the cab driver, Stephen Abuwatseya during the delivery of a package in Maitama area of Abuja.
Southeastposts.com learnt that the disagreement led to the lawmaker assaulting the cab driver, threatening that he can make him disappear from Nigeria.
Condemning Ikwechegh’s action, Ohanaeze’s factional Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, urged the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun to invite the lawmaker for questioning.
Isiguzoro hinted that Ohanaeze firmly believes that it is imperative for all meaningful Nigerians to vociferously denounce the pervasive scourge of hate speech, violence, and intimidation in the society.
A statement he signed reads: “Ohanaeze stands united in its unwavering commitment to justice, respect, and the cultural integrity of the Igbo people.
He called upon the Inspector General of Police to take immediate and decisive action by formally inviting Rep Ikwechegh for questioning.
