Senator Elisha Abbo (Adamawa North – PDP) has pleaded ‘not guilty’ after he was arraigned before the Chief Magistrates’ Court in Zuba, Abuja on Monday, July 8, 2019. The lawmaker was caught on camera brutally slapping a woman during a disagreement inside a sex toy shop in Abuja.
The emergence of the video on Tuesday, July 2 led to widespread outrage, with many Nigerians calling for the lawmaker to be suspended by the Senate, and prosecuted by the Police.
Even though Abbo issued a public, teary-eyed apology to his victim last week, he pleaded not guilty to two counts of criminal use of force and criminal assault during his arraignment on Monday.
