The altercation occurred when Bolt driver Stephen Abuwatseya refused to bring a package into Ikwechegh's premises, citing the company's policies.

The video of the assault has been shared widely on social media, prompting condemnation from Nigerians across the country. Many have expressed outrage and disappointment at Ikwechegh's behavior, questioning how someone in a position of power could exhibit such disrespect and violence.
