Additionally, he affirmed his collaboration with the Nigerian Police, promising to uphold accountability and assist with their investigation.
“I, Hon. Alex Ikwechegh, a member of the House of Representatives, would like to speak about a very upsetting incident that happened at my house not too long ago.

“In order to make sure that such behavior never occurs again, I am seeking professional counseling.” I’ll also be taking part in community service projects that encourage tolerance, compassion, and understanding.
However, he urged all Nigerians to stand with him in promoting a respectful, tolerant, and understanding society.
“To create a society where everyone is treated with respect and dignity, we must cooperate. Ikwechegh continued, “I appreciate your understanding and hope you will accompany me on this path to recovery and development.
