Police’s absence halt Nigerian senator’s assault trial

The absence of senator Elisha Abbo, who allegedly assaulted a nursing mother and the prosecution counsel, on Thursday stalled continuation of his trial in a Zuba chief magistrates’ court, in Abuja.

Abbo who represents Adamawa north senatorial district was arraigned on July 8, 2019, for allegedly assaulting a nursing mother, Warmate Osimibibra

At the resumed hearing, the police counsel, James Idachaba, and the defendant, senator Abbo were not in court.

In his ruling, the presiding magistrate Abdullahi Illelah adjourned the matter until February the 6th.
