Senator Ishaku Abbo, the Adamawa State-born politician, is once again entangled in controversy after a video of an alleged sexual scandal went viral.
Abbo attacked a breastfeeding woman at an Abuja sex toy shop just two years ago during his first term in the Senate.
A leaked viral video from late last week showed a light-skinned man having sexual intercourse with a married woman.
Surprisingly, Abbo’s name was linked to the identified man in the sex tape, a claim that has yet to be confirmed or supported by any trustworthy sources.
Following the release of the video, which has since gone viral, a press conference was held on Thursday evening to discuss the incident, during which the senator denied being the man in the video having sex with the alleged Adamawa married woman, whose husband is said to be based in Abuja.
Abbo had vehemently refuted the claims, saying, “How can you identify a person without seeing his face, his body, only parts of his legs, and you said it is Senator Abbo?“
The senator, who was sacked from the Upper Chamber by an Appeal Court early this year, blamed his political opponents for sponsoring what he described as “timid blackmail.”
“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 insisted.
The controversial senator promised to sue individuals he believed of being behind the sex video’s distribution and attempting to slander and damage his reputation.
He insisted that the sex tape had not discouraged him, but that ruining his image would not benefit the political interests of those funding the blackmail and that his followers would continue to vote for him based on his performance in the Senate.
