Senator Elisha Abbo, the
Adawama born lawmaker is allegedly in an out-of-court settlement negotiation
with the lady he assaulted, as confirmed by insiders.
We reported yesterday that
Bibra Warmate, the shop attendant and nursing mother assaulted by Senator
Elisha Abbo in the viral video failed to appear before the Senate ad hoc
committee investigating the incident. When contacted by Punch, she also failed
to give her reason for being absent.
Though top sources claimed
that an out-of-court settlement negotiation is on-going between Senator Abbo
and Warmate, her lawyer denied the claim stating that they have a lawsuit
against the lawmaker and will be going ahead with it.
“I can categorically tell
you that there is no such negotiation and that the matter is in court. We have
an action against him (Abbo) in court. We are suing him" the lawyer said.
This is coming after
Chairman of senate ad committee that was set up to look into the incident,
Senator Sam Egwu, requested for more time to conclude the investigation and
report back to the National Assembly.
