“After the video I made, he (the lawmaker) called some Police officers, I don’t know the division they are assigned to, they bundled me to the station.

“They didn’t allow me to take my calls,” the driver said.

He added, “I was taken to the IPO’s office, who spoke to him outside the office. After the call the IPO said he was going to do investigation at the honourable’s (Rep member) house in Maitama.

“They kept me behind the counter for over two hours. After the IPO returned from his house, he asked me why I recorded the Reps member.

“The honourable came to the station and started calling me names. I left the station at 3:00 am and my car is still at the station.”
