A former senator on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party, Ishaku Elisha Abbo has been entangled in a fresh sex controversy.
Recent reports have it that a woman has come forward on social media to share her experience with the former lawmaker.
She claims to have had an intimate relationship with him and alleges that he secretly recorded their encounter and used it to blackmail her.
The woman has apologized to her family for her actions and is seeking protection for herself and her loved ones, claiming they are being threatened by the senator.
Meanwhile, in reaction, Senator Abbo has denied any involvement in the video.
The ex-senator held a press conference to address the allegations, questioning how someone could be identified from a video without seeing their face or body.
“How can you identify a person without seeing his face, his body, only parts of his legs and you said it is Senator Abbo”, he queried.
Abbo, who was removed from the senate earlier this year, believes the video is part of a blackmail attempt by political opponents.
“Blackmail cannot stop me from winning elections. A senator from one of the northern states was shown in a sex video with his entire body, but he still won an election to the Senate, and his wife won an election to the House of Representatives. My people love me. No amount of blackmail can stop me,” he had said.
