BREAKING: APC Senator Kelvin Chukwu Caught on Video Assaulting Constituent During Football Tournament in Enugu as Security Operatives Look On

A serving senator of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kelvin Chukwu, representing Enugu East Senatorial District, has come under intense public scrutiny after video footage emerged showing him physically assaulting a constituent during a football competition in Enugu State. The incident, which occurred during the final match of a community football tournament organised by the lawmaker on January 3, 2026, was exclusively obtained by SaharaReporters.

The videos show Senator Chukwu visibly angry, engaging in a heated confrontation with the constituent before pursuing him outside the football pitch and slapping him, while armed security operatives attached to the senator reportedly watched without intervening. Another clip also captured one of the senator’s security aides assaulting the same individual, who was later arrested and detained despite being the victim of the attack.

Eyewitnesses alleged that the assault followed a minor disagreement during the match, accusing the senator of staging the football competition mainly for political reasons ahead of upcoming elections. The incident has sparked outrage, raising serious concerns about abuse of power, police conduct, and the role of security personnel in protecting public office holders rather than citizens.

Senator Chukwu, who recently defected from the Labour Party to the APC, was elected in 2023 following the assassination of his elder brother, Oyibo Chukwu. The latest development has reignited debates about accountability, political violence, and the treatment of constituents by elected officials in Nigeria.
