The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has revealed that on October 24, 2024, a Bolt driver was allegedly assaulted by a passenger in the Galadima area of the FCT.
Following a distress call, Police officers led personally by the Divisional Police Officer Galadima promptly responded and intervened in the situation. The passenger, who was identified as Brandy Nwatu, was taken into custody, while the driver, Emmanuel Ebhohimen, was taken to the Federal Medical Centre, Jabi, for medical treatment.
Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, disclosed that preliminary investigations suggest that an argument over luggage handling escalated into a physical altercation resulting in the driver’s injuries.
She said Nwatu was later released on bail, with a requirement to return for further action on 28th October 2024.
