Assault: Verydarkman fumes over apology by cab driver to Abia lawmaker Ikwechgh [VIDEO]
VeryDarkMan man reacts as Bolt driver apologises Hon Ikwechegh
- Nigerian social media critic VeryDarkMan has furiously spoken against cab driver Stephen Abuwatseya’s apology video to Alex Ikwechegh.
- It was reported on October 28 that Ikwechegh assaulted the Bolt driver who came to deliver a parcel at his Abuja mansion.
- VeryDarkMan and his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, fought for Stephen’s compensation as the TikToker shared the hurdles they went through to achieve that.
Nigerian social media critic Martins Vincent Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, has expressed his anger at the turn of events between Stephen Abuwatseya and House of Representatives member Alex Ikwechegh, who represents ABA North/South of Abia State.
On October 28, Ikwechegh assaulted the Bolt driver who was delivering a box to him. In a viral video, Abuwatseya filmed the altercation at Ikwechegh’s mansion in Maitama, Abuja.
The video showed the obviously enraged congressman repeatedly beating and cursing the driver after the latter asked him to step outside to collect a package of snails intended for delivery.
Following the event, Ikwechegh issued a public apology, recognising his acts and expressing regret for his conduct during the confrontation.
When Verydarkman heard of the incident, he played an active role in ensuring Stephen Abuwatseya received justice and was duly compensated.
However on Thursday November 7 in a video message issued to the press, Stephen Abuwatseya, the e-hailing driver, apologised to Alex Ikwechegh for provoking Ikwechegh and asked Nigerians for forgiveness. He also advised everyone to get past the incident.
Reacting to the apology video made by the Bolt driver, VeryDarkMan narrated how he and his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, fought within their power to make Alex Ikwechegh pay for his reported wrongdoing.
He stated that Alex Ikwechegh and his friends only contacted them to compensate the driver when the matter escalated on the internet.
VeryDarkMan proposed that the cabbie be paid N20m and a car as compensation, but the Honorable suggested reducing it to N5 million and a car.
VDM claimed that the driver went behind their back to build a relationship with the honourable. He, however, made known his disappointment over the new apology he believes was forced on the cabbie.
VeryDarkMan highlighted that Stephen Abuwatseya chose to work against those who stood up to him during the heat of the matter. Watch VDM speak below:
