The police have arraigned Elisha Abbo, senator representing
Adamawa north, for allegedly assaulting a woman at a sex toy shop
in Abuja.
The lawmaker was arriagned at a magistrate court in Zuba on
Monday.
Anjuguri Manzah, spokesman of the federal capital territory
(FCT) police, confirmed this to TheCable via text message when
asked on the development.
He said: “Yes. Thanks.”
Abbo has been under fire after a video clip of him hitting the
woman, simply identified as Briba, went viral.
On Thursday, the police arrested the senator after he
surrendered himself to the FCT police command.
He was detained and released on bail on Friday.
The senator has since asked Nigerians for forgiveness over the
incident at the shop. His apology came after outrage on social
media and protest against him.
Abbo said he had learnt his lessons and would be of good conduct
henceforth.
“I personally apologize to Bibra and her family for my action
towards her, which has brought immense discomfort in our body
polity,” he had said.
“I have never been known or associated with such actions in the
past.”
The senate also set up a committee to investigate Abbo. The
report of the committee is expected in within two weeks.
