In a recent legal development, a magistrate court in Kuje, Abuja, granted bail to Alex Ikwechegh, a serving member of the House of Representatives, after he was arraigned over an alleged assault incident involving Stephen Abuwatseya, a Bolt driver.
Ikwechegh, who faced a three-count charge including assault and issuing threats to life, appeared in court on Wednesday to answer to the accusations.
The charges were filed by the office of the Inspector-General of Police, marking a significant step in what could become a high-profile legal case.
Ikwechegh pleaded not guilty to all charges. His bail was set at N500,000, a decision that will allow him temporary freedom as the case proceeds.
As details continue to emerge, this case is drawing public attention, highlighting issues around accountability and conduct for elected officials in Nigeria.
The outcome of the trial could have broader implications for both Ikwechegh’s political career and the precedent it may set in similar cases involving public figures.
