Sen Abbo who battered lady at s3x toy shop wins at tribunal

The Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Yola has dismissed a suit filed by Sen. Binta Masi of the All Progressives Congress (APC) challenging the emergence of Elisha Abbo as the senator representing Adamawa North Senatorial District.

Delivering judgment on Thursday, the Chairman of the Tribunal, Justice Sulaiman Akanbi, said the petitioner could not provide any credible evidence to show that the election of Abbo was marred by over voting and other irregularities as alleged.

“All said and done, the petitioner failed to prove his petition with convincing evidence. We consequently dismiss this petition,’’ the judge ruled.

Massi, while reacting through his Counsel, Mr Yakubu Bello, said the ruling would be appealed.

On his part, Sen. Abbo said that he was excited by the victory and urged Massi to accept the outcome in good faith.

“My people should be expecting wonders. I am not a mistake and I will make them proud,” Abbo said.

Recall that Sen Abi was captured on camera recently, as he, in company of his police orderly, beat up a lady at a sex toy shop located in Abuja.

He later apologized for the act, even as several women and human rights group called for his arrest and prosecution.
