Embattled Senator Elisha Abbo has said the video showing him assault a woman in a sex toy shop is an old video, insisting that the clip did not reflect the actual sequence of the incident.
The assault, which was first reported by Premium Times, had sparked outrage with many Nigerians calling for his prosecution, urging the senate to sanction him. When contacted, the senator told ChannelsTV that he would issue an official statement in reaction to the assault video.He said, “We will soon release an official statement to the viral video which happened before I became a senator where my younger sister was beaten to a pulp in a shop and I was called upon there; where I had to call an ambulance and a police to come to the scene and it got out of hand I was also assaulted.
“It is an old video, but we will soon release a statement to that effect. It was my sister that was at the store and she was assaulted. In fact, she fainted in the shop but they compressed the video and cut that part out of it.“This is a political season and now I am now a politician. Before I was not a politician but now the reality of the fact is that I am now a politician and politicians are not people who are liked. They exhume things of 20 years and they hang it on their neck now.
“As I said before we will release a robust response to everything, and we will also ask for the entire video to be released since they have the video. We will seat and discuss about the video. Just to be clear that video was taken long before now and it was released just at this point,” he said.
So you had been using police escorts before becoming a lawmaker. That lie id good for the marines not sensible Nigerians. True to type our politicians lie out of the two sides of their mouth thinking we are fooled. Try another Senator , we may swallow it.
He has just made it clear then he is not qualified to be a Senate of the federal republic of Nigeria simple. What ever he say doesn't change a thing. He's barbaric
“It happened before he became a lawmaker”? How come he has police orderly attached to him? Or did he occupy a political office in his State? Anyways, this ur statement is contradicting his apology; meaning he did it! QED!!!
Sex Toy Senator
Na now you know?
Then who gave him police orderly?
Sex Toy Shop 😂😂😂😂
Ewoooo. See lie from the pit of hell
Lie lie master
Either old or new assault is an assault the law should take control over it silly stupid senator
A leader most be tolerant, endurance and be a good listener but it’s something else for this Nasty senator for beaten someone else wife in public... its highly insult and embarrassment for the whole consistency he came from....he should be dismissed 4rm that Senatorial seat
It's a criminal offence senator Elisha Abbo Shud be punished for thus act.
So you did it all the same
He's not denying the assault. Rather, he's justifying the assault. What that means is that this guy is more terrible than imagined. If his version is to be believed, how come he never reported the incident to the authorities? Dumb response. His 'robust' response may be dumber.
Even if it happened the day he was born. An attack is an attack!
En en. So u are a changed person. Nonsense.
So that makes assaulting women acceptable? That's what you get when there's no substance to your character - pure unadulterated arrogance.
He slapped a woman that all. It was hot slaps
That is a silly excuse. You physically assaulted a helpless young woman and you must face Justice.
That means he needs to be recalled because a Senator of this great country has to be a man(or woman) worthy in character and with the highest respect for the people without irrespective of geographical boundary, gender,religion or ethnicity.
Brainlessness is when he tries to plead not guilty in this particular case. He is inhumane and should face the law.
Here is a reply. Whether it was before being a Senator or not. 'Any person who unlawfully assaults another and thereby does him/her harm is guilty of a felony, and is liable to imprisonment for three years.' ~ Section 355 of the Nigerian Criminal Code.
Imagine a whole senator in sex toy shop. Smh! This soapy senator should be prosecuted.
This clearly shows the callibre and quality of leadership in nigeria.what do you expect from a newly elected senator going to a sex toy shop.
So
Whether u were elected as a senator or not i believe assault is not allowed in what ever form to a person either a lady or a guy...
Blackmail?
Liar ogun kill ham
That makes it worst.. How on earth could an Animal like him become a Senator..? He even said, If don't know you...! Kemi, I should have gun you down. Really..? Is that how he use to gun people..? This guy is not in any way worthy to be a. Senator. Not even a councillor.
Even if it happened when he was a farmer, its a crime.
If the attack happened before he become senator, it's mean that he is a coward that cloth himself with cloth, not knowing to his constituency members that he has acted once like a coward.
He had won the election already!. Even as a NOBODY, that action is condemnable .
Whatever weather it happen before or, We don't care. He has assaulted her and justice must be done
She's insulted him That's why his angry
It happened before he was born. Everyone is here shouting 'he should be in prison...he should be in prison' why is Ganduje in the government house instead of prison. In fact that video is doctored
How does it matter? If he committed murder in 1980 and is just being caught, does that make him innocent?
APC is behind that video let's move abeg
It does not matter when it happened. The more reason he should not have been elected.
How does that change the fact? Are you kidding me? Before/after/future, we dont care. Theres evidence he is an animal and as such needs to go.
Even if it happened before becoming senator, you must still face the music afterall, pastor biodun fatoyinbo's rape case also happened before he became a pastor. No sinners must go unpunished.
No one is even asking what he's doing in a sex toy store 😂
Animal in human form. Who would want to witch hunt you when you haven't even started? The fact still remains there is daring evidence showing you assaulting a nursing mother. That action has consequences which you must face. senatorstepdown
Mr Senator, weather u are lawmaker then or not, any man in his right senses shouldn't have done that. U should go public n apologize. Simple
Even if it happened in 1960; he has to be prosecuted and the Police Orderly with him. We can't keep electing touts and hoodlums. Thank God he is a PDP senator, and we are PDP supporters, we are not blind party followers, our allegiance is to the country, HE SHOULD BE ARRESTED.
When does crime have lifespan?
Even if it happened when we was a teen, is that justified? Media shld say the right thing.
So does becoming a lawmaker bestow salvation and change of character? He had no power then, he did that. How much more now? Who gave him security?
And so..does that stop him from being prosecuted?
Even if it happened 10years ago, it is not excusable, a crime is a crime
And so whattt... He is still goin to jail ..
The more reason you shldnt have been there.NigerianPolice was a back ground check done before before issuing him a back ground check certificate to contest?
And so waattt... Arrest that senseless man... Vagabond senator
OlayinkaAdebajo Before and after. You are liable for all your action
We know, reason he must be prosecuted..Whether it happened 100BC or in 150AD?..We had our evidence in 2019 and a very clear and audible evidence indeed.
Does it really matter when it happened. Assault is Assault... He must face the music.
Honestly, Nigerians are tolerant lots!!! See the fat packages they allocated for themselves!!! These people don't care about the law or any Nigerian at all. Scrapsenate
Whatever, he sha beat the girl senator or not. Kuje is expecting you
Either or either not.he should face the law that's all.
That it happened b4 election makes it worse. It shows that a criteria for selecting party candidates is bad character; attitude for violence and lawlessness. Even a theft of Senate Maze has reward. If in doubt, ask Dep. Senate Pre. Nig has bn turned into Agberu/Cattle Republic.
CCTV camera footage usually show date and time, so your excuse doesn't leave the ground. Enough of Nigerian public figures blaming 'enemies' in the shadows for their misdeeds
He should also be tested for substance abuse
So its okay to assault somebody as a non- politician, with a police officer there just because she said 'oga calm down'? We really need to train our boys better in this country cus they are the ones that become this men.
Werey 🤔
If someone commits a crime when he was nobody, how are we going to be sure that when he is somebody he is not going to commit the same if not more? Just thinking aloud ...
What if it was before he became a senator?!
It doesn't matter. An animal will forever be an animal. He must be suspended and recalled.
And so fucking whatpls take his seat away from him
SenatorElishaAbbo Thunder will fire 🔥 u wallahi U are lucky those ladies are not my relative u will by now be in National Orthopedic hospital Abuja ... I swear by Allah
And dah is enough point to defend himself. He's such an animal dah doesn't even deserves to b a course rep not to talk of a senator. A very idiot and senseless fellow
blakx_plux Even if you be house maid then... You sha physically assaulted her cuz she said 'take it easy'.
He be like say you dey craze
Is there no barber in Adamawa state? Elisha Abbo the sex toy senator needs a good haircut.
Oh ,that's alright then, silly me
That will even make you ElishaCliff go to Jail. Haven't you won the Election then? Is assault not a crime in this Country anymore? Issokay
So what? If you can do this before becoming a senator you will be worse as a senator. Your public conduct has no season nor is it regulated by your occupation.
His constituent has failed for electing him. That abuse is grousome
That Video is Fake, did you see his face? The enemies of Elisha wants to pull him down. Elisha that I know does not wear Cap 🧢 we have been friends for over 20 years and he has integrity and is fighting corruption hence his enemies have struck again. That Video is doctored. 🤦🏿♂️
And that is your defence? That the attack happened before you became a lawmaker? That act was so disqualifying that you shouldn’t have become a lawmaker in the first place
He deserves to serve some time in jail. He can go with his sex toys. He might need it.
And So? In abia, in 2018, d speaker wife was stopped by FRSC ,she called her husband & instantly policemen came & shot d FRSC guys. Nothing happened. Impunity everywhere in Nigeria
That doesn't take away the fact that he's not a woman beater.
This man doesn’t know that cctv videos are dated ? Chai analogue senator !! Who do us this thing
What he did is barbaric, he should be arrested....
I think this lunatic who calls himself a senator MUST BE SUSPENDED IMMEDIATELY FOR AT LEAST SIX MONTHS by the senate President.
Arrest the animal
Such justification is absurd.
It doesn't matter, no one has the moral right to assault any one regardless of one's social status.The lawmaker should be arrested and charged to court immediately.
The response I read ,if it really came from that Abbo of a man ,then I think he should change his supplier.
And so?
Either before or during, what is wrong is definitely wrong. He needs to be prosecuted.
Na lie abeg
So what were u ? With those policemen uselessness ppl
11th of May...when was the 2019 election against pls? He is an idiot
doesn't matter, even makes it worst cos now that you are a Senator you can even commit murder and go scot free.
And the doctor left her outside to come give life to the innocent woman you assaulted too Abi?
Foul play from the abuser, you must not go unpunished broski
Then how did he have police escort as an individual then?
So he is ordinary Nigerian with a police bodyguard . he is a joker .
It's Nigerian don't worry about it
Let's begin to imagine the havoc Elisha Abbo will do as a Senator. Watch him, he may already be using fellow humans as foot mats in his house.
If the attack happened before you became a senator, that means you Sen. Elisha Abbo has been a criminal and still a criminal before elected into public office.The PoliceNG should use the criminal code against Sen.Elisha Abbo. NGRSenate should suspend him.
If you like be a farmer or a teach or a drive or a doctor or a lawyer or banker... infact you can be anything then... Oga the question is 'did you beat her?'... did you? or did you not?
Evil that men do lives with them abi. Even if it is before or after what he did was bad and is highly condemnable.
And no one petitioned him on that before he was given ticket to run for an election... I
Shey that video isn’t time stamped ?
Either way he is not fit to be a Senator and on the basis of this evidence should vacate his position. Show how much the electorate understand about voting.
It doesn't add up. He said clearly in the video, 'she's insulting me'.
And so, if it happens before becoming a senator, does that justify anything? Meaning now that you're a senator with money, influence and power, there will be more inhuman treatment from you on Nigerians, idiot.
You are going to pay for it even now you are a senator cos you will not get away with it.very very unfortunate for you 👍
Sister indeed! Please tell a believable lie
Animal in human skin.
whenever, it's such an irresponsible act that must not be swept under the carpet.
O luku! Making matters worst. If you lie once you need another to defend the first. It goes on and on....
Before he became a lawmaker with a police escort and body guards ? What's his position in the society then pls ?
Did u slap her or not?
Dumb explanation.. Go and explain that to the cows in Daura...
Eri irun rada rada togbesorii🙄😏
So that’s the news twist. Ehnnn...even though.
even the attack happened before you become a lawmaker you don't deserve to be in Acre you don't want to be there in Nigerian senate letting resign as a senator
The end point is you assault a woman publicly irrespective of who you are
The clown has no defense. He attacked the defenseless lady repeatedly and the video does not show any form of self defense. PoliceNG do not be fooled by this woman abuser
That is a big lie . Become or not u have no right to raise ur hand on a defenseless person
Evil that men do , Lives with them before or after....
Then all of us have failed for making a beast a senator
He is very stupid
