Nigeria’s youngest senator, who represents Adamawa North, Elisha Abbo, has been called out for assaulting a woman in a sex toy shop in Abuja on the 11th of May. He was called out after a video footage of the action was leaked online by Premium Times.
It all started when the lawmaker claimed the shop attendant of poisoning the air conditioner after one of the ladies he came with threw up in the shop.
The attendant refuted the senator’s claim saying that if the air conditioner were really poisoned, other people in the shop would be throwing up too.
Offended by that, Mr Abbo calls in a police officer believed to be from Maitama Area Command and instructs him to arrest the attendant, claiming he had been insulted.
The attendant picks her phone and begins to speak with her father about the incident but Abbo, a member of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), quickly tells her to drop the call.
A friend of the attendant tries to intervene. “Oga, please take it easy now,” she said.
The Senator immediately flared up and hit her severally on the face. The attendant’s friend was later forced out by the police officer on the order of Abbo.
The assaulted woman, said to be a nursing mother, was taken to a hospital the following day where she was treated for eye inflammation and other injuries inflicted on her by the lawmaker.
Since the case was reported on May 14 at the Maitama Area Command Headquarters on Nile Street, the police have been reportedly negligent on the matter.
Abbo was said to have returned to the store to warn against releasing the footage of the incident.
