Adamawa APC accuses Sen Abbo of assault

The Adamawa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on law enforcement agents in the state to arrest the Senator representing Adamawa Northern district, Elisha Abbo, for assault against one Saidu Naira, acting Deputy State Chairman of the party.

According to the party, the state Executives had been briefed of an incident involving Sen. Abbo, where Naira was physically attacked, stabbed, and beaten by a group of thugs allegedly sponsored by Sen. Abbo.

The party made the allegations in a press release, issued on Wednesday by the Ag. state chairman of the party, Samaila Tadawus.

Tadawus said the victim was attacked, beaten, and stabbed with a knife during a stakeholders’ meeting in Mubi last Friday.

“He was later bundled in a booth of a vehicle and taken away with his car ransacked and his personal belongings taken away.

“It took the intervention of the military before he was dropped unconscious at the Mubi Police Station.

“In view of the foregoing, we strongly and totally condemn the inhuman action of the senator and his sponsored thugs and, hereby, call on the relevant security agencies to arrest and prosecute the culprits for kidnapping, attempted murder and assault.

“Meanwhile, we wish Saidu Naira, who is currently receiving medical attention in Abuja a very quick recovery,” the statement read in part.

Abbo was the only APC candidate in Adamawa State that emerged as winner in last Saturday’s national assembly elections held across the country.

Denying the allegation, media aide to Abbo, Micheal Bolgent, said his principal could not descend low and attack people over political differences.

“I am not aware of the incident. However why would Abbo be after his life because of politics? We all have our differences as when it comes to political ideologies and we respect that,” he stated.
