Nigerians have continued to react to the assault on Sales Girl in Abuja by a Senator representing Adamawa North Senatorial District, Senator Elisha Abbo
Elisha Ishaku Abbo
The video shows the angry senator assaulting a sales girl, (a nursing mother) at a sex toy shop in the Wuse 2 area of Abuja.
Below are some of the reactions on Twitter.
The case of Senator Elisha Abbo is very straightforward: the Police MUST IMMEDIATELY take three steps: 1. Arrest him (no formal complaint is needed with the evidence on tape) 2. Obtain his statement (if he’s willing to make one) and that of the victim 3. Arraign him in court.

In the presence of a @PoliceNG officer, The youngest Nigerian Senator Elisha Abbo, representing Adamawa North Senatorial District, assaults a lady. This is an outright abuse of power. He must be prosecuted and recalled.#StepDownSenator#SenatorElishaAbbo pic.twitter.com/TZ5zVF35NX

This is not about his age.
This is not about his party.
This is not about where he was.The issue is that he assaulted another person.
Male or female is not the concern. Assault of any kind is not justified.#SenatorElishaAbbo @PoliceNG @NGRSenate pic.twitter.com/RKvLWiZgqU

4. Imagine if dis story wasn’t caught on camera, would u believe d victim if she tells her story say next year? U would most likely ask how a sitting senator would go into an adult shop in broad day light to beat women….#SenatorElishaAbbo @NGRSenate @PoliceNG

I hear the police cannot find that Senator. Did he vanish into thin air? No more ridiculous stories. That man should face the legal consequences of his actions. Enough is Enough! #SenatorElishaAbbo

Since last week, it’s like God opened the GATES OF SENSES to Nigerians which is why we’re now strong enough to know how to fight for justice. I love this energy we’re using to fight #SenatorElishaAbbo, Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, COZA issues and the other atrocities 👏 pic.twitter.com/XfuIDkdjQG

The sad thing is that, she was beaten by someone that’s suppose to pass a law against such act, watched by a policeman that’s supposed to protect her against such unspeakable act. Shame on Senator Elisha Abbo #ElishaAbboMustPay #SenatorElishaAbbo pic.twitter.com/1HpiogkXtS

I wouldn’t mind contributing to the legal team that’s ready to take up the #SenatorElishaAbbo case. We must be resolute and ready to spend money to save this country

LET'S TALK: #SenatorElishaAbbo! An argument has popped that the incident occurred before he became Senator. Considering this, should he pardoned for the physical assault against the lady in that video? #SenatorAbbo #WakeUpNigeriaOnTVC cc: @LadyOMary @EmemIme_ @titithedynamite pic.twitter.com/UfSq83om8R

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
