Mr Abbo has been asked to report himself at the FCT Police Command Headquarters on Thursday morning as part of an urgent criminal investigation into the assault, the command’s commissioner, Bala Ciroma, told news men.
Mr Ciroma said the police officer who was with Mr Abbo during the incident but failed to protect the woman from the brutal assault was also being tracked down for potential disciplinary action.
“We have already commenced a serious and round-the-clock investigation into the matter,” Mr Ciroma said. “We have started inviting all the necessary actors and we will be visiting the scene of the incident as well.”
