Let the bet9ja guy say something about this

[quote author=LegendVibes post=80064288]Senator Elisha Abbo has pleaded not guilty to one count of assault on his arraignment on Monday, Igbere TV reports.

The lawmaker was arraigned by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) police at Zuba Magistrate Court, Abuja.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmaker, representing Adamawa North at the National Assembly, had apologised in a press briefing last week for his actions.

It is believed that the video of the incident and his statement owning up to the incident would be used as evidence against him.

A women’s group, National Council for Women Society (NCWS), FCT Chapter, had on Sunday rejected his apology.

The group advocated for stiffer punishment for Abbo to serve as deterrent to others who assault women in workplace, shops or markets.

It also called on the United Nations and other international organisations to ensure Abbo’s prosecution in order to guard against future occurrence.
HE WHO WITHOUT SIN THROW THE IST STONE. OVER TO YOU NCWS.

Court appearance

So what excuse will his lawyers use for his defence when:
(1)There is video evidence
(2)He publicly acknowledged being the person in the video and carrying out the assault,but asking to be forgiven.
I said it this Abbo is a mental case because he is exhibiting bipolar disorder.
Unless his lawyers want to use bipolar disorder as a defence,in which case he won't be legally deemed fit enough to occupy the senatorial or any public seat.
The man is a grave danger to society just like a mad man is.

The Nigerian police are the prosecutors. They can decide to leave out some important evidence that will convict him. Who will check them?

The Lawyer Could argue that the video was inconclusive,video can't tell full story and as such can be deemed unfit for evidence,he may use self defence to argue his case,the case can be dismissed on technicality(if it's in a sane country),this case is already trialled by media and such can't give fair judgement.

I haven't seen the video,how long was the recording?

you havent seen the video and you are spewing rubbish. if that was your sister he slapped, i bet you wont be writing this trash

this country sha..always difficult for we human being to forgive and forget...someone released live video apologizing yet human being fails to find space in their hearts to let him go...jail him does that stop men from beaten women?..or is it because is a person with high profile that's why you want to teach him a lesson..well all d same is a prophecy which must come to pass.

Ha
Shey the camera dey lie ni

Ttipsy:
why don't you focus on the issue, leave his health status ?

You have said it all. Many people have deviated from the issue at hand. I wonder what his health status has to do with the crime he committed.

He should be sued for all he is got.

Hiv spreader having party

Don't you think that you indirectly stigmatising the HIV victims? what does the senator's health status has to do with the crime he committed?

All these calls are actually of no consequences. All those international organisations have better things to do with their time than on one count of assault happening around here. We seem to have this problem of not putting things in proper perspectives here.

The man will simply plead not guilty and be granted bail on self recognition.

The pressure should be on the authorities here to make sure justice is served as quickly as possible so the case file isn't thrown into the bin of endless adjournment.

Not all cases can be swept in the bin I assure you.

[quote author=Tripitaka post=80066033]Nothing will happen.

It's either the case is adjourned o he is asked to pay a 100k fine.[/quot Obviously you did not follow the case of the military officer that assaulted a girl & her boyfriend to the glare of everybody in this Naija to the end.So who is the Senator to be treated differently?

Tripitaka:
Nothing will happen.

It's either the case is adjourned o he is asked to pay a 100k fine.

Shorrop there, you are one of the problem the country is suffering from

yen yen yen yen yen, nothing will happen - surely nothing will happen if it was hearsay and no evidence

WITH THE VIDEO OF THE ASSAULT, AND HIS VIDEO OF BEGGING FOR FORGIVENESS, LET US SEE HOW THE JUDICIARY WILL TWIST THIS


Will it set a precedence that "Once you are caught and you do a few minutes video of pleading, assault charges should be thrown away with
100k fine as long as you are a senator ?"

no judicial system can defend that -

no magistrate will put their signature to that-

no Chief Justice will endorse that-

No society will accept that!!!!!
