Abbo appeared in a viral video early July assaulting a nursing mother who tried to defend an attendant, Bibra Warmate, at a sex toy shop in Abuja.
Kama wrote in a Facebook post: “Tafawa Balewa was not bisexual. Tafawa Balewa had no record of molesting women.
“Tafawa Balewa had no HIV. Balewa didn’t transmit HIV to any girl deliberately.
“Tarawa Balewa was not a drunk. Tafawa Balewa never took drugs. Tafawa Balewa was not a gay. Tafawa Balewa was not an idiot.
“Therefore, comparing Tafawa Balewa with a sex toy senator is an insult to the late prime minister.”

The case was adjourned until September 9.
