Adamawa Senator denies controversial viral sex video
The Adamawa State-born Senator Ishaku Abbo is again embroiled in controversial news of an alleged sexual scandal via a video that has gone viral.
Senator Abbo, only two years ago during his first tenure in the Senate had attacked a breastfeeding mother in a sex toy shop in Abuja.
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, Arewa PUNCH 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.

Mahama’s inauguration: Ghanaian police IG controls traffic
Being a typically busy day in Accra, due to the inauguration of the President-Elect, John Dramani Mahama, and his vice, Prof Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, the traffic situation especially around the Independence Square is expected to be challenging.
And, although he had already deployed many police personnel to the grounds of the inauguration to ensure security, law, and order, the Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, was forced at a point to help in the work itself.
In images shared by Daily Graphic on Facebook, the IGP was captured directing traffic at a certain part of the city.
This is believed to have happened as he headed to the Black Star Square to join other invited guests and dignitaries for the inauguration of John Mahama as the president of Ghana.
“The IGP stepped out of his car en route to the inauguration grounds to direct traffic,” the caption of the post on Facebook said.
The momentous and historic occasion has drawn significant attention both domestically and internationally.
It is expected to be attended by 21 Heads of State, alongside three vice presidents, four ministers, and 24 envoys.
According to a statement from the Ministry of Information, the swearing-in ceremony will also feature a number of dignitaries from across the world, including 21 Heads of State from Africa and beyond.
Other dignitaries from across all sectors of the economy, including foreign leaders and security service personnel are also in attendance.
