Senate Panel's Attempt To Ridicule Senator Abbo Stirs Up Public Sympathy by kamanidesmond(m): 12:52am On Jul 10, 2019
Media personnel, Akpomedawaro Ike has in a #ProbeNotVictimize editorial, revealed as a plot by the Senate's panel of inquiry to humiliate an already embattled senator Elisha Abbo, over his assault on a lady at a intimacy gadget shop.
 

Describing the maiden sitting of the committee as an attempt at "double jeopardy", Akpomedawaro Ike asked for the motive behind inviting journalists to cover the probe if the panel wasn't out to sell out Abbo. 

 

Weighing in also on the threat of suspension issued on the embattled senator by the panel, Akpomedawaro wrote:

 

"What is worth doing should be worth doing well hence, the senate panel committee assigned the responsibility to investigate senator abbo's assault on the lady should know well than to stir up emotions by giving the senator a bad name just to hang him.

 

"Was the paparazzi effect necessary considering the smear campaigns that had characterized the senator sequel to the assault incident?


Personally, I view it as an attempt to ridicule, rather than that of fact finding by inviting journalists to cover the maiden proceedings of the probe panel after he had already admitted wrongdoing, apologized, submitted himself to the police for prosecution, charged to court and eventually granted bail.

Would it be impossible to hear the Senator's testimony without the presence of cameras and overzealous journalists?

On her first sitting, the panel goofed and the threat of suspension goes a long way to show the committee is out to victimize the already embattled senator. Otherwise, why the threats 

The attempted coverage of proceedings by an already biased one-sided media would have spelt doom not only for the senator but for all parties involved.

This Editor is a very dumb person.
The shameless and not deserving to be a leader Senator slapped someone aggressively openly and you're talking about fact finding. What other fact are you looking for? Oh! That the lady insulted his mum or what?


The attempted coverage of proceedings by an already biased one-sided media would have spelt doom not only for the senator but for all parties involved.

Oh my God! This guy is an Idi.ot! Are you saying this seeing all what happened? Or you just read the incident on the pages of newspaper?


When are we gon have sense here?

It’s very easy. When ever I watch a video that makes me want to pity the guy, I simply go back to the slapping video and that neutralises the effect.

OP sense had deserted you. What sympathy do you have for the woman he slapped openly? I hope you will still be talking this if that woman happens to be your wife?

Truth be told, the Senate panel went about it in a very wrong way. The paparazzi was not necessary. Also, Mrs tinubu was too emotional and took the case personal thereby jeopardizing the case. She wasn't professional in handling the matter at all.
Yes, the culprit brought shame to the body of Senate, the case is also at the court. The senator was wrong and he admitted and apologized, let the court proffer judgment then you can take it from there. I think the Senate panel should be headed by another person

Tinubu's wife think Nigeria is Lagos State that she and her husband have turned to their pit latrine and Lagosians as their night soil men.

Nonsense and ingredients.
