The Nigeria Police Force has again vowed to ensure that a bolt driver, Mr Stephen Abuwatseya, who was recently assaulted by a federal lawmaker in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, gets justice.
The lawmaker representing Aba North and South Federal Constituency in Abia State was captured in a viral video physically assaulting the bolt driver.
The driver was delivering a package to the lawmaker at a residence in Zamfara Crescent, Maitama, Abuja on the 27th October when the incident occurred.
The development has continued to gain reactions from concerned Nigerians, who are demanding justice for the alleged victim.
Reacting to the outrage, the NPF in a post on its official Facebook page on Wednesday morning, said it is ready to ensure justice.
Part of the post reads, “the Nigeria Police Force has commenced an impartial investigation into the matter and wishes to reaffirm its commitment and readiness to ensure justice is served accordingly”.
This comes after the lawmaker openly apologized for his actions during House plenary on Tuesday.
