Alexander Mascot Ikewechegh, a federal lawmaker representing Abia State, appeared in the Kuje Magistrate Court to answer charges related to the assault of a Bolt driver, Stephen Abuwatseya.
The charges brought against Ikewechegh by the Inspector General of Police’s Special Investigation Unit include abuse of office, assault, and threat to life.
He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.
His attorney, Ody ESQ., submitted an oral application for bail, which was subsequently granted by Magistrate Abubakar Umar Sai’id.
The bail was set at N500,000, requiring the provision of two sureties in the same amount. The sureties must reside within the jurisdiction of the court and present utility bills as evidence of their residence.
The case has been scheduled for its next hearing on November 8, 2024.
