Former Adamawa lawmaker, Senator Elisha Abbo, is currently in the custody of the Nigeria Police Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), Abuja, over allegations that he raped a 13-year-old secondary school pupil.
According to the victim’s parents, the incident occurred on June 29, 2025, at Abbo’s residence in Katampe, Abuja. They further alleged that Senator Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed, popularly known as “Binani” and a former governorship aspirant in Adamawa State, visited their home to persuade them not to expose the matter.
The family also claimed that Abbo repeatedly sent money to the girl’s father in what they described as an attempt to suppress the case.
As of the time of filing this report, the former senator remains in police custody at the FCID headquarters.
This development adds to Abbo’s history of controversies.
He was previously arrested for physically assaulting a woman at an adult toy shop in Abuja, and more recently accused by a married woman of using an intimate video to blackmail her.
