Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw, has said that the apology given by Senator Elisha Abbo for assaulting a woman in an Abuja sex shop was insincere.
The 47-year-old movie veteran delivered a rebuke to the senator on Twitter on Tuesday.
“Your supposed apology smacks of arrogance, Elisha Abbo! You said “no matter what she did to me”, what did she do except tell you to take it easy..
“Your supposed apology is very insincere!!! You first lied when the video came out,” she wrote.
Premium Times posted video of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmaker from Adamawa state hitting the lady online on Tuesday.
That led to calls by Amnesty International and other rights group calling for his arrest and persecution.
His party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, also condemned his action, with the police and Senate launching an investigation.
Addressing a media briefing in Abuja on Wednesday, Abbo wept as he apologised to mothers, Nigerians, the PDP, the National Assembly, his family, the victim and her family as well as all people who were embarrassed by his conduct.
