Nigerians expressed their anger on Twitter on Tuesday after a video showing a Nigerian senator assaulting a woman emerged online.


The lawmaker, representing the Adamawa north senatorial district, Elisha Abbo, was shown in the CCTV footage, published by PREMIUM TIMES slapping a nursing mother who was trying to appease him.

The assault, which reportedly occurred on May 11, 2019, in an adult intimacy gadget shop, was done in the presence of an armed policeman, who rather than assist the victim, arrested her.

The senator has not responded to PREMIUM TIMES’ enquiry on the matter.


When the lawmaker was contacted by Punch newspaper, he did not refute the allegation but assured that he will give a “robust response as soon as he put a team together.”
