Lawmakers,Nigerians Condemn Senator Abbo Alleged Assault On Lady
Some members in the House of Representatives and social media observers have reacted to the alleged assault on a woman by Senator Elisha Abbo representing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP-Adamawa),even as they condemned displeasure over the act.
This followed a matter of Privilege raised by Rep. Beni Lar (APC-Plateau) at the plenary on Wednesday.
In a CCTV video trending on the social media, the embattled senator was seen slapping the lady in a sex toy shop in Abuja.
Nigerians have also reacted on the alleged assault by the lawmaker on social media ,even as they called on the Inspector General of Police to investigate the molestation unleashed on the sales lady.
Similarly, fresh indications have emerged that Amnesty International would also investigate the Nigerian lawmaker act.
Lar said that it was heartbreaking to see a lady being beaten up in that manner and a lawmaker should not be seen indulging in such an act.
According to her,: Even if she is your wife, you are not supposed to beat a lady like that in public or elsewhere and I call on the house to condemn the act in its entirety.
In his ruling, the Speaker of the house, Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila (APC-Lagos) said that every right thinking Nigerian should condemn such act.
“We condemn it in its entirety and I believe the Senate will deal with the matter but if not, we shall step in,” he said.
