In a leaked viral video that surfaced late last week, a light-skinned man could be seen having sexual intercourse with an alleged married woman.
Surprisingly, the name of Senator Abbo was tagged as the identified man in the sex video, an allegation that has yet to be proven or substantiated by any credible sources.
Following the release of the video which has since gone viral, Freelanews reports that a press conference was held on Thursday evening over the incident where the senator denied that he was the man in the video having sex with the alleged Adamawa married woman whose husband is said to be based in Abuja.
Abbo had vehemently denied, “How can you identify a person without seeing his face, his body, only parts of his legs and you said it is Senator Abbo, “ he said.
The senator who was sacked from the Red Chamber by an Appeal Court early this year, blamed his political opponents for sponsoring what he called “timid blackmail.”
“Blackmail cannot stop me from winning elections. A senator from one of the northern states was shown in a sex video with his entire body, but he still won an election to the Senate, and his wife won an election to the House of Representatives. My people love me. No amount of blackmail can stop me,” he insisted.
The controversial senator threatened to take legal court action against those he suspected were behind the circulation of the sex video and who are trying to malign and tarnish his name.
He stressed that he was not deterred by the sex video, but warned that tarnishing his image would not help the political interest of those sponsoring the blackmail, insisting that his supporters would still vote for him because of his performance while in the Senate.
