  The Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, Abia State Command, Ngozi Ezeoma, has confirmed the death of one security personnel in a single vehicle road traffic collision that occurred on 30th March, 2025, involving a vehicle from the joint task force of Operation Crush, at Isieke along the Umuahia-Bende road. According to Ezeoma in a statement, the accident was caused by brake failure. The vehicle veered off the road and fell into a ditch, leaving eight officers with varying degrees of injury. The injured officers were rushed to the Federal Medical Centre in Umuahia by the Police before the arrival of the FRSC. Unfortunately, the deceased officer was taken to the mortuary. The wreckage of the patrol van has since been recovered from the ditch.

I'M NOW INFAMOUS FOR MAKING THINGS DISAPPEAR -IKWEECHEGH. (PHOTO).


 A member of the House of Representatives, Alex Ikwechegh, has jocularly said that his squabble with a Bolt driver in Abuja in October 2024 increased his popularity among Nigerians as ā€œthe man that makes things to disappearā€.


Speaking on the aftermath of the incident, the Rep said what happened was quite unfortunate, yet an avenue for him to build a relationship with the bolt driver


Ikwechegh, who spoke to newsmen on Tuesday, said he has moved on from the episode and has built a friendship with the e-hailing driver, Stephen Abuwatseya.


Ikwechegh represents Aba North & South Federal Constituency in the Green Chamber on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).


ā€œThe video that everybody saw was a low moment. I felt the sanctity of my home was being desecrated. The part of the video where you people saw was the part that people saw; people do not know what happened before that reaction. Like they say, actions pre-empt reactions.


ā€œBut whatever anybody has seen is not indicative of who I am. Iā€™ve been in the public space for a very long time and there has never been any scandal about me. However, the young man is my friend now and I am very close to his bishop, his pastor and Iā€™ve made a bunch of new friends and today the whole of Nigeria now knows me as the man that makes things to disappear. Weā€™ve moved on, itā€™s in the past now,ā€ he added.


Last October, Nigerians were outraged when a video of Ikwechegh assaulting Abuwatseya went viral.


In the video, Ikwechegh was seen angrily confronting and hitting the driver while making threatening remarks. ā€œCan you imagine this rat? I can make this man disappear in the whole of Nigeria and nothing will happen.ā€


Going by the conversation recorded in the viral video, the lawmaker had ordered some snails from a vendor who engaged the services of the e-hailing App driver to deliver the goods.


A heated disagreement ensued when the Bolt driver arrived at the lawmakerā€™s residence and asked to be paid but the lawmaker accused the driver of disrespect because he didnā€™t step down from his car to deliver the goods.


The APGA lawmaker thudded three slaps on the cheeks of the driver who maintained his composure in the face of the assault. The lawmaker had challenged his victim to call on the Inspector General of Police for help.
