A Magistrates’ Court sitting in Zuba, Abuja on Tuesday admitted two discs from a CCTV footage and Certificate of Compliance as evidence in the trial of Senator Elisha Abbo.
Police charged Abbo on July 8 for criminal force and assault which is contrary to section 263 and 264 of penal code law.

Magistrate Abdullahi Ilelah held that the documents tendered were relevant and admissible in evidence.
“It is left to the court to determine if a particular document or exhibit tendered before it complies with requirement of the law or not.
“The court hereby admits the statements of Senator Elisha Abbo and medical report which the nominal complainant obtained from Mega Eye Sight as exhibits in the trial,” he said.
Ilelah adjourned the matter until January 9, 2020, for continuation of hearing while the bail granted to Abbo continues on the same terms and conditions.

Abbo appeared in a viral video early July assaulting a nursing mother who tried to defend an attendant, Bibra Warmate, at Pleasure Chest Shop, FA45, Banex Plaza, a sex toy shop in Abuja.
The prosecution alleged that he slapped the complainant severally on her face and forcefully dragging her shirt without provocation.
