Sen Elisha Abbo won the case of assault instituted against him

“Adamawa-North lawmaker, Senator Elisha Abbo, has won the case of assault instituted against him before a Magistrate Court in Zuba, Abuja by the Nigeria Police Force.
This is despite a viral video showing Abbo assaulting a woman, Osimibibra Warmate; and a televised press conference in which the lawmaker apologised to the victim.
According to a copy of the judgment obtained by The PUNCH, the Magistrate, Abdullahi Ilelah, who upheld a no-case submission filed by Abbo, said the police failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the lawmaker assaulted Warmate on May 11, 2019.”
Apart from the video recording that showed the accused assaulting the lady, the accused himself made a televised press conference in which he apologised for his actions, but the magistrate Judge says that is not an admittance of guilt and that the accused did not assault the lady. How can a society ever function without justice??
