Assau-lts Driver Alex Ikwecheghi, a Member of the House of Representatives, Threatens to Have Him Vanish.

In a widely circulated video, Alex Ikwecheghi Mascot, the representative for the Aba North and South federal constituency, was observed striking a bolt driver named Stephen Abuwatsaye and issuing threats to make him "disappear." The driver stated that his only transgression was requesting payment from Mascot for an item he was delivering from his vehicle. In a fit of anger, the representative slapped the driver three times, tore his shirt, and nearly damaged his phone while threatening actions that implied kidnapping, arrest, or even murder. "Do you know who I am? I am a senator of the Republic of Nigeria," Mascot was recorded proclaiming. Reports indicate that Mascot subsequently had the driver arrested.
