The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, has ordered the arrest of Senator Elisha Abbo and his orderly for allegedly physically abusing a salesgirl in Abuja.
Investigations are ongoing at the Federal Capital Territory police headquarters by a team of detectives set up by the IGP.
The news of the attack went viral after a video recorded by the Close Circuit Television (CCTV), installed in the shop was shared on the social media, an act which is said to have embarrassed the police authorities.
The police say they are doing everything within their powers to restore dignity to the force, following the conduct of the police orderly attached to the senator.
According to police sources, the incident actually happened in a sex-toy shop in Abuja, where the senator had gone to make purchases.
The video which has been circulating on the internet shows the angry Senator beating up the salesgirl. He also ordered his police orderly to take her away.
