The embattled Senator, who is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party representing Adamawa North Senatorial District, slapped a saleswoman at an adult toy shop in Abuja.

The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan , constituted the panel following a point of order raised by the Senator representing Kaduna Central, Uba Sani.

The President of the Senate confirmed that he had been inundated with calls from concerned Nigerians within and outside the country asking the Senate to explain what happened. Lawan said it would be unfair on either the Senator or the assaulted lady if the Senate should pass a judgment immediately based on the viral video clip. He, therefore, asked the ad hoc committee to probe the issue critically by inviting both parties and submit its report within two weeks
