Is This Enough? Senator Elisha Abbo Who Ruthlessly Assaulted Nursing Mom At Abuja Sex Toy Shop Issues Public Apology
The Senator representing Adamawa North Senatorial District, Elisha Abbo, at a media briefing in Abuja apologized to the nursing mother, Bibra he assaulted at a sex toy shop captured in a viral video.
The incident according to reports happened on the 11th of May, 2019 while the CCTV from the sex shop surfaced online two days ago.
An eyewitness who gave an account of the whole incident said:
“The senator walked in with three young women to purchase adult toys. But shortly after they began shopping for the toys, one of the three girls brought in by Mr Abbo started throwing up.
She vomited multiple times, prompting the shop owner to remark that the woman should have vomited outside and not inside her shop, especially since she was not a child. Abbo, who was said to be agitated by the sudden illness of one of his girls, was said to have accused the shop owner of poisoning the store’s air conditioner.
The shop owner’s argument that if the air conditioner had been contaminated others in the shop would have also taken ill was said to have angered Abbo, and the two began exchanging words over the matter.
The senator was said to have called a policeman who he then ordered to arrest the shop owner.
The shop owner quickly called her father to inform him that Abbo had called the police over the matter and that she was about to be taken away.
The shop owner’s friend who had been standing nearby tried to intervene by pleading with the second man to take things easy but was slapped repeatedly by the lawmaker.”
The married senator who claimed he has never been known or associated with assault in the past, blamed it all on anger which he said he was sincerely sorry for.
In his statement, Abbo broke down in tears as he pleaded that all Nigerian men and women should forgive him, and added that the backlash he has faced so far has taught him a very great lesson as a private citizen and a public officer particularly as a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria upon whom public confidence is bestowed.
He went further to apologise to Bibra and her family for his action towards her and the Church of God everywhere in the world, saying to err is human, to forgive is divine. He said:
“Regardless of what transpired prior to my expression of anger, I am sincerely sorry and plead that all men and women of good conscience should have the heart to forgive me.”

“It is with a deep sense of remorse and responsibility that I, Senator Ishaku Abbo, profoundly apologize to all Nigerians, the Senate, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), my family, friends as well as our mothers, the Nigerian women.
I personally apologize to Bibra (the victim) and her family for my action towards her, which has brought immense discomfort in our body polity. I have never been known or associated with such actions in the past.
Regardless of what transpired prior to my expression of anger, I am sincerely sorry and plead that all men and women of good conscience should have the heart to forgive me.
To err is human, to forgive is divine. To the church of God everywhere in the world, I am sorry. As an ambassador of Christ, much is expected of me. My family and religious upbringing do not give approval of such conduct and for this, as a leader, I seek forgiveness before God and all those who feel offended by my action.
Indeed, this episode has taught me very great lessons, but as a private citizen and a public officer, particularly as a senator of the federal republic of Nigeria upon whom public confidence is bestowed.”
