I sexually assaulted, filmed debtor naked — Suspect

A man, Ahmed Usman, has admitted to sexually assaulting and filming a woman who was naked after she defaulted on a loan of N600,000, according to the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh. Usman, who was paraded by Adeh, claimed to be a lender to widows and vulnerable women who required weekly interest payments of N30,000.

The case against Usman was reported to the FCT Police on November 5 after he allegedly abducted and sexually assaulted the woman, who was a nursing mother. The woman, unable to pay the weekly interest, met Usman with N24,000 and was driven to a secluded location where she was assaulted. Usman admitted to lending her the money, collecting weekly payments, and recording her naked.

He also claimed to have driven away with a police officer during the arrest, later realizing the officer was the Divisional Police Officer and returning to the scene to drop him off. Usman, who is married and has six children, pleaded for forgiveness and an opportunity to redeem himself. The investigation is ongoing, and the command is collaborating with the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) on the case.
