The Criminal case against the Senator was earlier struck out in July, for lack of diligent prosecution.
The Civil aspect of the matter was instituted at the FCT High Court
Suit No. CV/2393/19 – Osimibibra Warmate v Senator Elisha Abbo.
The High Court of the Federal Capital Territory has awarded up to N50 million in liability against Elisha Abbo. Peoples Gazette learnt on Monday.
The court said Mr. Abbo should pay N50 million to Osimibibra Warmate, the woman he assaulted on camera in March 2019.
The civil judgement came weeks after a magistrate’s court found the senator not guilty of criminal assault.

Two senior members of the legal team who filed the case for
Ms. Warmate confirmed same via Twitter.
Remember that video of a Nigerian Senator slapping/assaulting a young lady at a shop? Well justice was served today with the Court slamming the sum of N50M against the Senator. I am delighted to have represented that young lady in this suit. We say no more to oppression!
Nelson!
