A member of the House of Representatives from Abia State, Alexander Mascot Ikwechegh has reportedly threatened to make an Uber driver to disappear from Nigeria.
BestXplorer sighted the video of the incident shared on X by former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, Chidi Odinkalu.
The Rep member also threatened to beat up the cabman and lock him up in his generator house.
DAILY POST learnt the altercation followed a disagreement between the lawmaker and the taxi driver.
“Do you who I am? So you think I will give you my money the way you have spoken to me?
“I did a drop for you and you have to pay, Sir”, the taxi driver replied.
However, the lawmaker continued: “You will not see penny from me. With this level of disrespect, you are very stupid.
Putting a call to the vendor who sent the driver, the honourable member said: “Madam, who is this stupid boy that you sent to my house? Who is this foolish boy that you sent to my house?
“How can this stupid idiot come and told me that I should come and meet him in his car and pick up snail that I am buying from you? Could you imagine this rat, I can make this boy disappear from whole Nigeria and nothing will happen. I’m not going to this boy one Naira of my money.
“No, no, I am not going to give this silly boy one Naira of my money.
“No, no, I am not going to give this silly boy one Naira of my money.
“I am not going to call policeman to beat you up. I am going to beat you up myself. I will slap hell out of you and lock you up in my generator house. How dare you?”
In one of the videos, the lawmaker boasted that he slapped the driver twice, and that he was ready to land him a third slap.
“Can you imagine this rat? I can make this man to disappear in this #Nigeria & nothing will happen.”
