A video recorded by the victim shows Mr Alex slapping him twice while threatening to lock him up in his generator house, claiming he could make him disappear without consequences.
The confrontation began when the driver, who had been sent to deliver a package, asked Mr Alex to come outside to collect it – a request Mr Alex considered disrespectful as he expected the driver to bring the package into his compound in the upscale Maitama area of Abuja.
The driver’s refusal escalated the situation, leading to a verbal and physical altercation. Mr Alex reportedly struck the driver, who remained calm and only requested payment for his service.
As of the time of reporting, the lawmaker has not made any public statement about the incident.
