Adult Toy Shop Assault: IG orders investigation of senator Abbo

The Inspector-General of Police Mohammed Adamu has directed the commissioner of police in charge of the federal capital territory police command, Bala Ciroma to carry out a thorough probe of the alleged assault of Elisha Abbo.

He also asked the CP to undertake a forensic investigation of the video, which showed Abbo repeatedly slapping his victim over what appeared to be a mild disagreement while a police officer looked on.

The senator is a Peoples Democratic Party member representing Adamawa North Senatorial District.

However, the national working committee of the Peoples Democratic Party says it has also commenced investigation.

The PDP national publicity secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement says the PDP is a law-abiding and upstanding party.
