Following alleged assault of a dispatch rider in Abuja by Abia State House Of Representatives Member, Hon. Alex Ikwechegh, the police high command has warned Nigerians to refrain from ‘name-dropping” the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.

Spokesman of the police, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi, who reacted to the viral video on social media noted that “The Nigeria Police Force is aware of the incident between a Bolt driver, Mr. Stephen Abuwatseya, and Hon. Alexander Ikwechegh, which took place on October 27, 2024, in Maitama, Abuja.

“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.”
