The drama surrounding the assaultby Senator Elisha Ishaku Abbo on a woman in Abuja continued on Tuesday with the
Senator engaging in an argument with members of the Senate Committee set up to
investigate the incident.
At the hearing which took place
in Abuja, Senator Oluremi Tinubu who is a member of the panel and Senator Abbo
argued over his probe by the committee.
She was displeased that the
embattled senator was trying to ‘undermine’ the committee, noting that he could
have stopped the panel if he felt it was going against its mandate.
Tinubu added that Abbo failed to
listen to the panel and accused him of dictating to members of the committee.
She, thereafter, asked him, “Do
you want us to protect you, or do you want us to defend you, or you want to be
on your own?”
She also informed him that the
panel, having been constituted by the Senate, has the power to suspend him.
On his part, Senator Abbo raised
concern over the threat to suspend him and vowed to resist any attempt of such.
Senator Tinubu, in a swift
response, told the embattled lawmaker that nobody has issued any threat against
him.
