Senator Elisha Abbo, representing Adamawa North Senatorial at the National Assembly has been ordered by a Federal Capital Territory High Court to pay N50m as compensation to Osimibibra Warmate for assaulting her at a sex toy shop in Abuja.
It will be recalled that a magistrate court in Zuba found the senator not guilty of criminal assault.
However, Warmate proceeded to file a fundamental human right suit marked CV/2393/19 before the FCT High Court.
Delivering judgment on Monday, the judge found Abbo guilty and ordered him to pay the sum to the young lady.
“I was a leading member of the team, with @nellymacaroni which filed the court papers in a civil suit between Ms Warmate vs Senator Elisha Abbo for the assault of Ms Warmate at an adult shop in Abuja. Excited to announce that the court slammed damages of N50m against Senator Abbo today,” Lugard Tare-Otu, a lawyer to the victim said.
.The senator was seen in a video physically assaulting the lady, whom he accused of insulting him by calling him “a drunk”.
