Embattled Senator Elisha Abbo, who allegedly assaulted a nursing mother at an adult toy shop in Abuja, has arrived at the Federal Capital Territory Police Command for interrogation.

The Peoples Democratic Party lawmaker representing Adamawa North Senatorial District is currently being interrogated by detectives.

The FCT Police Commissioner, Bala Ciroma, confirmed that Abbo was presently interacting with operatives at the command.

The senator earlier met with the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, at the Force headquarters before heading to the command for questioning.

Following the outrage over a trending video of the young lawmaker assaulting his victim, the Police Chief had directed the CP to carry out an investigation into the incident.

The Inspector-General of Police also asked Ciroma to undertake a forensic investigation of the footage which showed Abbo repeatedly slapping his victim over what appeared to be a minor disagreement while a police officer looked on.

Meanwhile, National Council of Women Societies has described the physical assault of a woman by the senator representing Adamawa North Senatorial District, Elisha Abbo, as an assault on womanhood.

Its National President, Gloria Shoda, said this in Abuja.

Abbo, in a video that went viral on social media platforms, was seen attacking a woman after she pleaded with him “to take it easy”.

The lawmaker has since apologised for his actions.

According to Shoda, the council seriously condemns such act, adding that the law must take its course.

She stated that “On behalf of NCWS, I commend the Senate for setting up a committee to probe the senator and I pray it will not only end there.

“I want the Inspector-General of Police to ensure 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

“It is time we make people face the consequences of their actions. We should not allow people like this in leadership positions.

“Women have been suffering various forms of assault and we want the senator’s case to be used to get justice for them.”

Shoda, who noted that the apology tendered by the senator was accepted, emphasised that “apology was not enough, something must be done to deter others.
