Elisha Abbo: Fani-Kayode reacts to Senator assaulting young lady in Abuja

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has said Nigerians cannot accept the physical assault of a yet-to-be identified lady by the Senator representing Adamawa North District in the National Assembly, Elisha Abbo.

A video of the incident, which reportedly occurred before the inauguration of the ninth National Assembly, had the Senator ordering his police orderly to further arrest the lady.

He had accused the lady of taking sides with the seller of sex toys who accused him of being a drunkard.

Reacting to the video, Fani-Kayode in a post on his Facebook page, condemned the action of the federal lawmaker.

He urged the young lady to sue the Senator, while also calling for his arrest and prosecution.

The former Minister said, “utterly barbaric and shameful behaviour from Senator Elisha Ishaku Abbo, the youngest member of the Senate. This is unacceptable and something needs to be done about it.

“I call for his arrest and prosecution for assault and battery. I advise the young lady that was beaten to sue him!”
