The Commissioner of Police in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Olatunji Rilwan Disu, confirmed that Ikwegh was being questioned about the altercation, which occurred at the lawmaker’s residence on Zamfara Crescent in the Maitama district of Abuja.

Disu stated that preliminary findings suggested the incident arose over the driver’s handling of a delivery on Sunday, Oct. 27.

“During this altercation, the Bolt driver, Mr. Stephen Abuwatseya, was reportedly physically assaulted,” Disu told reporters at the FCT police headquarters.

According to Disu, the lawmaker’s conduct, including an alleged dismissive comment about the office of the Inspector General of Police (IGP) following the reported slap, raised serious concerns about disrespect toward law enforcement authority.

“After he allegedly slapped the victim, the lawmaker reportedly remarked with contempt, ‘You can go ahead and call the Inspector General of Police,’” Disu said, noting that such a statement reflected “a troubling disregard” for the police force.

Disu assured the public of a thorough, impartial investigation and emphasized that appropriate legal actions would be taken once the investigation concludes.
