Stella Damasus Lashes Out At Nigerians Over Silence On Senator Abbo Elisha’s Case

Nigerian actress, Stella Damasus has shared her thoughts over how quiet many Nigerians have gone on Senator Abbo Elisha’s assault case. The star took to her Twitter page to reveal she is deeply offended by the fact that the case is no longer popular as it was before. In her tweet, she also expressed disgust over Senator Elisha bagging an icon award despite assaulting a nursing mother. Stella Damasus wondered if the senator has been forgiven even though there was a piece of hard evidence against him. She said: “Was I dreaming or was there a Nigerian senator who slapped a woman on video? If I was not dreaming, did we just stop talking about it? Has he really been left 2 walk free? Did I just see a video of him defending and justify himself? Okay I must be dreaming then. I need to wake up. So this means that when someone commits a crime and it’s caught on video, it still does not mean anything. Everything goes back to normal and we just move on? How are we okay with this? So when something new comes up, we forget the one that happened before? How? So shameful for my country NIGERIA to tolerate and accept this. So shameful that we have decided to keep quiet and let it go. Hope no one comes crying out when it happens to them or someone close to them.Photo Credit: Getty
