Following his invitation and subsequent release by police authorities a few days ago, Senator Elisha Abbo is set to be arraigned in court on criminal charges this week, Igbere TV has learnt.

Igbere TV reports that Senator Abbo had come under fire following his assault on a nursing woman at an adult toy shop in Abuja.

Sources within the force headquarters, Abuja, while confirming the development said the Senator’s woes were already compounded after admitting he committed the offence.

Igbere TV recalls that Abbo had last week admitted to the offence, while apologizing to the assault victim in a press conference.

Igbere TV gathered that the police would have arraigned him on Friday but for an attempt to retrieve the original footage of the video from the intimacy gadget shop where the incident occurred.

According to our source, a high ranking officer, the shop owner was outside Abuja attending a wedding when the police invitation got to her.

It was, however, learnt that police detectives had been able to establish a prima facie case against the lawmaker, as at press time.

Apart from the evidence deduced from the video, which showed Abbo repeatedly slapping his victim for intervening in an argument between him and the shop owner, other evidence has been established against him.

A source within the police confirmed that the Senator would be in court to show that police does not tolerate gender violence in any form regardless of the social status of the perpetrator.

The police further issued a statement saying, “Our preliminary investigation has indicted the senator and the plan was to arraign him on Friday for assault but the detectives were not able to obtain the original video from the CCTV which we needed to vet to ensure that it had not been manipulated. So, the arraignment would hold this week.”

Igbere TV recalls that the Senate had last Wednesday, condemned the Senator for allegedly assaulting the woman in the Wuse area of Abuja on May 11.

The red chamber subsequently set up an ad hoc committee headed by a former governor of Ebonyi State, Sam Egwu, to probe the action of the Peoples Democratic Party Senator.

The embattled senator, who represents Adamawa North in the Senate, allegedly slapped the woman following a brief argument.

The viral video footage had generated outrage among Nigerians with activists marching to the Force Headquarters and the National Assembly to demand Abbo’s prosecution for assault.

thanks brother, ridicule is not enough, this man must see jail time oo, even if it is for 2 hours- that status of ex-convict must be hung on his political neck - can u imagine, he has not even started collecting huge allowances, see what the little they paid him did to him - made him mad.

if this one collect enough money, he will order people to be assassinated everyday - did u guys hear where he told the police to arrest the woman after slapping her? I think some one is missing something here

Gbam! see where proudness has led you to? Better to be humble next time my dear senator.

Show biz

we just have to continue living with a character like this.

Nigerian police just trying to show that they are working. Na them dey assault pass

Calling this animal a Senator or Honorable is a fraud to mankind..,For the police delay is dangerous,why not arrange him on Friday at least he would pass his weekend at prison..here you are you people wanted to prepared ground for him..abi God pass una.. Moreover what is he doing in sex shop? Adulthood eluded him!!!

the man look like an Ethiopia.

That shop owner has been compromised. It's like she chose to be unreachable despite the fact that she was not serious and responsive on the phone call put to her when that yeye senator was doling slaps on the poor lady. Maybe money given to her has kept her quiet

All we want is Justice in this case and other cases.

He should face the consequences. Next time, he will think before acting.

Meanwhile, What was you guys stand few years ago when Bishop Oyedepo slapped a girl he termed a witch at the altar? No hard feelings, just an honest question.

Hypocrites everywhere.

Nothing will still happen. Once the noise around the issue dies d case will die.. I remember a very popular nigerian musician was incriminated for sending tugs to assult and steal from anoda musician in his hotel room. And today d case is dead and the musician is free as if nothing happened.

The sad reality about nigeria is that the law is made for the poor. If you are rich you are above the law

Hmmmmm.......
