Alleged Assault: Prosecution witness contradicts self in suit against Senator Abbo

Star Prosecution Witness in the suit against Senator Elisah Abbo has contradicted herself while undergoing cross-examination at the resumed hearing.

Blueprint can report that the star witness in the alleged assault suit contradicted herself many times under cross-examination.

The case is presently being heard before an Abuja Magistrate Court sitting in Zuba.

The witness, Warmate Osimibibra, who claimed to have a shop in the complex where the sex toy shop is located admitted that not all that happened on that day was in the statement she gave to the police. 

She further admitted that not all that happened in the sex toy shop was contained in the video given to the police as some things have been removed.

It was also confirmed by the court that the witness is not a nursing mother, as erroneously publicized and that her child was twelve years old

Worried about the development, Counsel to defendant Adegbite Adeniyi said it was obvious someone is trying to make up something in the case.

Deputy Commissioner of Police, James Idachaba, who is prosecuting the case on behalf of the commissioner of police said every witness is obliged to state their evidence without being forced or coerced.

Idachaba said he will call two more witnesses in the matter to prove the case of assault against the lawmaker. 

The continuation of the trial has been adjourned to October 17 for further hearing.
