The Senate ad-hoc committee investigating the assault incident by Elisha Abbo, a Peoples Democratic Party senator, has demanded for extension of time to submit its report.

However, the chairman of the committee, Sam Egwu, asked that the Senate extends the time initially given. “We set out to do the investigation and in the course of that, we invited all the people that are involved. We invited our colleague and he made it clear to us that he was invited by the police and the case is already in court and therefore, it is subjudice…,” he said.When asked how much time the committee required, Mr Egwu said, “because it is subjudice, we want to wait until the court has taken their decision.”“It is not our concern. We are not investigating criminal activities.

The senator, who represents Adamawa North Senatorial District, descended on the woman after she pleaded with him not to physically assault the shop owner whom the senator had accused of insulting him. He said the shop owner called him “a drunk.”
