The lawmaker representing Adamawa-North senatorial district, Senator Elisha Abbo, says the incident portrayed in the video showing him beating up a lady in a intimacy gadget shop occurred in March 2019.

Abbo said this in a brief chat with our correspondent on Tuesday while responding to a question from The PUNCH.

He said he was putting a team together and he would give a robust response soon.

Abbo said, “Hello Eniola, I saw your message and I am aware of the report. I am putting my team together. I am aware that the thing happened around March this year but I will get in touch with you when we finish discussion. I am in a meeting now.”

Abbo, had attracted criticisms from a large section of Nigerians after being caught on video slapping a nursing mother repeatedly at a intimacy gadget shop in the Wuse 2 area of Abuja.
