The embattled Senator representing Adamawa North Senatorial District,
Elisha Ishaqu Abbo, who was caught on camera assaulting a nursing
mother at a sex toy shop in Abuja, has been released on bail by the
Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command.
He was released Friday morning.
Senator Abbo, who had earlier tendered an apology to Nigerians and his victim, Bibra, over the incident, had presented himself to the Police for investigation on Thursday.
PRNigeria reports that the first-time Senator was not just granted
bail after answering questions asked by Police, but was asked to go due
to the fact that the lady he physically assaulted was not around to
testify and give her own side of the story.
A police source said the victim travelled out of Abuja to attend a burial ceremony of a close family relation.
The Police are expected to resume their probe once the lady returns.
