The Adamawa state-born Senator Ishaku Abbo has denied his involvement in a recent sexual scandal.

This comes after a viral video surfaced online last week, purportedly showing a light-skinned man engaging in sexual intercourse with a married woman.

Interestingly, Senator Abbo was tagged as the man in the video, an allegation that has yet to be proven or substantiated by any credible source.

Senator Abbo dismisses video

Following the release of the video which has gone viral, The Punch reported that a press conference was held on Thursday evening, August 29, to address the incident.

Addressing the press, the northern senator denied that he was the man in the video having sex with the alleged married woman from Adamawa whose husband was said to be based in Abuja.

Abbo said:

“How can you identify a person without seeing his face, his body, only parts of his legs and you said it is Senator Abbo.“

The ex-senator blamed his political opponents for sponsoring what he called “timid blackmail.”

“Blackmail cannot stop me from winning elections. My people love me. No amount of blackmail can stop me,” he insisted.

The controversial senator, however, threatened to take legal court action against those he suspected were behind the circulation of the sex video and were trying to malign and tarnish his name.

Why Senator Abbo apologised to Akpabio

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Senator Ishaku Abbo apologised to Godswill Akpabio, the Senate President, over the allegation that he was behind his political travail.

Abbo said he was not apologising to return to the Senate, but he was convinced that the Senate president knew nothing about the allegation he had levelled against him.

After the court of appeal sacked him, Abbo, at a press conference on Monday, said that the Senate President was behind his travails.
