Share

Almost a year after a young Nigerian Senator, Elisha Abbo was accused of slapping a Nursing mother at a sex toy shop on May 11, 2019, a Federal High Court in Abuja has asked him to pay the sum of fifty million naira to Osimibibra Warmate for assault. 

Lugard Tare-Otu and Nelson who identified themselves as Warmate’s lawyers confirmed this to journalists on Monday, September 28. Also, in a tweet, Nelson expressed delight that Justice has been served in the case of the Nigerian Senator who slapped and assaulted a young lady at a Sex toy shop.

“Remember that video of a Nigerian senator slapping/assaulting a young lady at a shop? Well justice was served today with the court slamming the sum of N50M against the Senator. I am delighted to have represented that young lady in this suit. We say no more to oppression.”

You will recall that the Senator representing Adamawa North under the umbrella of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Abbo was said to have entered a sex toy shop with three young women to purchase adult toys on the said date before the misunderstanding ensued.

However, days after assaulting the lady, the lawmaker tendered an apology over how he reacted when the issue came up adding that his action did not portray him as a good ambassador of the Senate, the PDP and the youths of Nigeria. 

He apologised to the lady he assaulted and her family as he also seeks forgiveness before God and all those who feel offended by his action.
