A Kuje Magistrate Court Wednesday granted bail of N500,000 to a House of Representatives member for Aba North and South, Alex Ikwechegh, following his arraignment for allegedly assaulting a Bolt driver outside his Abuja residence.
Counsel for the driver, Deji Adeyanju, confirmed the arraignment to newsmen.
A picture circulating from the court showed the lawmaker docked.
The incident gained public attention after a video circulated on social media, allegedly showing Ikwechegh assaulting the driver, Stephen Abuwatseya, and claiming he could make him disappear without a trace.
The case has sparked concern, with the court scheduling further proceedings to address the charges against the lawmaker.
