A Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, High Court on Monday, ordered a serving Senator, Elisha Abbo to pay N50 million compensation to Osimibibra Warmate, a female attendant at a sex-toy shop, whom he assaulted.
Channels Television reports that the N50 million damages was awarded against the Senator representing Adamawa North by presiding Justice Samira Bature in her judgment on the fundamental rights enforcement suit instituted by Warmate against the senator.
The police had in 2019, filed charges against the Senator before a Magistrate Court in Zuba, Abuja on one count of assaulting Warmate.
But the matter was dismissed by the presiding Magistrate, Abdullahi Ilelah, who upheld the no-case submission filed by Senator Abbo.
But determined to get justice, Warmate, through her legal team, filed a fundamental rights enforcement suit against Senator Abbo before the FCT High Court.
