Sen. Elijah Clifford Abbo, representing the Adamawa North Senatorial District, has allegedly been caught assaulting a young man in a video posted by a Twitter user, @Jacfelixchidama.
This is coming Nineteen months after he was caught on camera assaulting a nursing mother in an Abuja sex toy shop.
The lawmaker in the latest video was caught slapping a young man repeatedly in his hometown in Adamawa State.
The Senator first came to limelight in 2019, when he was captured in a video beating a female attendant, Osimibibra Warmat, at a sex shop in Abuja.
The assault was done in the presence of an armed policeman who, rather than protect the victim, arrested her.
The police later arraigned Abbo before a Magistrate Court in Zuba, on a one-count charge of assault.

Meanwhile, the latest video has sparked outrage on social media.
