Senator Elisha Abbo || Premium Times
When the CCTV footage leaked last year, it sparked outrage. Nigerian women and men condemned that a senator would be caught on camera assaulting a defenseless woman in a s3x toy shop. It was all the more disappointing because the senator, Elisha Abbo is a youth. His win was seen by many as a victory to the youth population in a gerontocratic society.
Many called for his recall by his constituency, Adamawa North. A year after the inglorious incident, senator Abbo was acquitted by a Magistrate court in Abuja on the grounds that the police failed to prove beyond any reasonable doubt that he committed the crime in the footage.
