Senator Elisha Abbo, Nigeria’s youngest senator, has been caught on camera giving a woman at an adult shop hot slaps in Abuja.
The lawmaker, who represents Adamawa North Senatorial District, was seen slapping the woman repeatedly while also ordering policemen to arrest her.
Abbo had accused the woman of insulting him, calling him a drunk.
PREMIUM TIMES exclusively obtained the video of the assault, which occurred on May 11 – nearly three months after Abbo became a senator-elect and a month before he was sworn-in on June 11.
The assault was reported on May 14 at the Maitama Area Command Headquarters on Nile Street, but the police told the victim to go look for Abbo’s telephone number or they would not be able to do anything about it.
Abbo, a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had entered the shop at about 6:00 p.m. on May 11, a Saturday. The senator walked in with three young women to purchase adult toys. But shortly after they began shopping for the toys, one of the three girls he brought in started throwing up. She vomited multiple times, prompting the shopowner to remark that the woman should have vomited outside and not inside her shop, especially since she was not a child.
Abbo, who was said to be agitated by the sudden illness of one of his girls, was said to have accused the shopowner of poisoning the store’s airconditioner.
The shopowner’s argument that if the airconditioner had been contaminated others in the shop would have also taken ill further angered Abbo, and the two began exchanging words over the matter.
The shopowner’s friend who had been standing nearby tried to intervene by pleading with the second man to take things easy. She was slapped multiple times by Abbo, who repeatedly called her stupid.
