Eniola Akinkuotu, AbujaAdamawa-North lawmaker, Senator Elisha Abbo, has won the case of assault instituted against him before a Magistrate Court in Zuba, Abuja by the Nigeria Police Force. The two witnesses that testified against Abbo were Warmate – who was the nominal complainant – and a police officer, ASP Mary Daniel, who investigated the matter. Then the defendant (Abbo) pounced on me, punched me on my face and in the eye. The defendant (Abbo) pulled me by the hair and pushed me downstairs and to a car. However, when the prosecution rested its case, Abbo did not open his defence but filed a no-case submission, asking the court to dismiss the charges preferred against him.
