The National Council of Women Societies, NCWS, has come hard on the senator representing Adamawa North Senatorial District, Elisha Abbo, for repeatedly slapping a woman in Abuja.
In a statement issued on Thursday in Abuja, Gloria Shoda, National President of the council, described the act as an assault to womanhood.
According to Shoda, the council seriously condemns such act, adding that the law must take its course.
“On behalf of NCWS, I thank the Inspector General of Police for calling for Sen. Abbo’s arrest.
“I also commend the Senate for setting up a committee to probe the senator and I pray it will not only end there.
“I want the IG to ensure that Abbo faces the law, he should not only be arrested but let him be charged to court and whatever the law says on assault, let him face it,” she said.
Abbo, in a video that recently went viral on social media platforms, was seen attacking a woman after she pleaded with him not to assault a shop owner.
