Elisha Abbo, the former senator who represented Adamawa North in the Senate, has been given a deadline to substantiate his accusations of bribery against the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem. Failure to do so will result in legal proceedings against him for making false claims.
Alternatively, Senator Abbo has been instructed to issue apologies to Justice Chioma Iheme, another Justice at the Appeal Court, and the judiciary as a whole for his unverified accusations. Uwemedimo Nwoko, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and former Attorney General of Akwa Ibom state, asserts that the former senator must either provide evidence to support his bribery allegations or publicly apologize for making baseless claims.
Nwoko emphasizes that Abbo has not presented any proof to back up his claims of bribery involving the judiciary. On February 1st, during a press conference, Abbo accused the President of the Court of Appeal and others of accepting bribes in the judgment that led to his removal from the Senate.
