Anjugurl Manzah, the public relations officer of the FCT police command, said: “We are monitoring the situation and we have commenced the process of investigation. “What the commissioner of police has actual done is that the complainant has been asked to do a formal complain to the command for discreet investigation.
The command has urged the complainant to come forward, but I can assure you that the incident did not happen on Tuesday. “I cannot establish the date when it happened but the command has made it clear that we want a formal complaint on the matter so that we can commence action. “We cannot just commence work based on what we see on the social media; you need something, you need a document to work with. For now, we have not received a formal complaint from the complainant.”
Meanwhile, Senator Elisha Abbo reacted to the viral video showing where he assaulted a woman in an adult shop in Abuja. Abbo said the owner of the shop only released a part of the video, taking away the part showing where his younger sister was assaulted in the said shop. The senator also said that his team will release a 'robust' statement on all that transpired in the viral video to the public.
