The report was presented during the plenary by Chairman of the Ad-Hoc committee, Sen. Sam Egwu (PDP, Ebonyi North).
The Senate had on July 3, 2019 set up a committee to investigate Sen. Abbo (PDP, Adamawa North) for allegedly assaulting a lady at a sex toy shop in Abuja.
The lawmaker was seen in a video clip which was widely circulated online having an altercation with the lady in question.
