Reports say, Senator Elisha Abbo threatened to unleash more violence on the women if the incidence got to the public. It is resposibility of police @PoliceNG to now protect victims from further of his violence. This must be investigated. The senator must face justice. @UN_Women pic.twitter.com/RB7hh9H0Eb
