The Senate has granted a one-week extension to its Ad hoc Committee investigating the propriety of Senator Elisha Abbo’s (PDP: Adamawa) actions after a video of the lawmaker assaulting a woman received public out-lash.
The Committee led by Senator Sam Egwu (PDP: Ebonyi) and 6 other Members including Mrs Remi Tinubu, (APC:Lagos) , who chaired the Women Affairs Committee in the 8th Assembly are expected to submit their report on 24 July 2019.
