Presidential candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), in the last general elections, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has condemned the actions of Senator representing Adamawa North, Elisha Abbo, who assaulted a sales lady at a sex toy shop in Abuja.

He also asked that Senator Abbo should submit himself to the Police for investigations into the matter and also called on his party, PDP, to take necessary disciplinary action, and the Police to ensure the law takes its full course.

In a series of tweets on Wednesday, he described the actions as sad, inexcusable.

“I’ve seen the alleged assault video involving Sen. Elisha Abbo. The video is sad, inexcusable. I know the Senator quite well. But the law is clear and leaders must lead by example.

I advise him to publicly apologize, voluntarily go to the police and show a good example expected of a young leader. I also call on our party, the @OfficialPDPNig to take necessary disciplinary action and the @PoliceNG to ensure the law takes its full course. -AA

Meanwhile, the Inspector General of Police has ordered for the immediate arrest of Senator Elisha Abbo, as the Nigerian Senate set up a committee to investigate the case.
