Police Arrest Abuja Man Over Alleged Rape, Cyberbullying of Women
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has arrested a man identified as Usman Mohammed for allegedly engaging in rape, sexual assault, and cyberbullying of women in Abuja.
The arrest comes after a report was made to the Lugbe Police Station on November 6, 2026, alleging that Mohammed used debt recovery as a pretext to intimidate and exploit victims.
Speaking on the matter, the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, said:
"Usman Mohammed is being investigated for alleged rape, sexual assault, and cyberbullying of women in Abuja. He allegedly targeted vulnerable women, particularly widows, using debt recovery as a pretext to extort money from them."
Mohammed is said to have forced his victims to strip naked and recorded their private parts, threatening to expose them publicly if they did not fulfill his monetary demands.
"This is a serious matter that requires immediate attention," said SP Adeh. "We urge the public to report any cases of abuse, threats, or extortion to the nearest police station."
The FCT Police Commissioner, CP Ahmed Muhammed Sanusi, condemned the alleged crimes and urged the public to provide information about any suspicious activities or criminal suspects they may know of.
"We cannot allow such heinous crimes to go unpunished," said CP Sanusi. "We urge the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities or known criminals to the police."
