Ace rap artiste, Ruggedman has attacked Senator Elisha Abbo after he was spotted in a viral video pledging his support for the bill to regulate social media.
Elisha Abbo who was seen in a viral video assaulting a woman at a sex toy shop, called for the quick passage of the bill because according to him it is a ‘cancer waiting to consume all of us’.
The lawmaker representing Adamawa North Senatorial District spoke during the senate’s plenary session on the bill titled ‘Protection from Internet Falsehood and Manipulation 2019’ which recently passed its second reading.
“The issue of fake news in this country, if it’s not regulated is a cancer waiting to consume all of us,” Abbo said.
“Even conventional media that are regulated are suffering from falsehood. If we cannot regulate the spread of falsehood, it will consume all of us tomorrow.”
However rapper, Ruggedman disagreed with him, wondering why he skipped supporting the police reform bill and never backed a bill to check ”embezzlement, police brutality excessive charging by telecommunication companies in the country.”
Sharing the video of Senator Abbo speaking during the plenary session, Ruggedman wrote;
“U skipped supporting the police reform bill. You didn’t bring up a bill to regulate embezzlement, police brutality or telcos & banks over charging. It’s fake news that @PoliceNG (if paid well n equipped) can investigate and arrest d guilty party dat u r on,”
