The Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Police Command has arrested a man identified as Usman Mohammed over allegations of rape, sexual assault, cyberbullying and intimidation of women under the guise of recovering debts.
Police spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, said the suspect was arrested on November 6 after a complaint was lodged at Lugbe Police Station.
Officers reportedly tracked him to the Federal Housing Authority area of Lugbe, where he attempted to escape before being intercepted.
According to the police, preliminary investigations indicated that Mohammed allegedly targeted women, including widows and other vulnerable persons, through predatory money-lending practices.
The police further alleged that he lured a woman into his vehicle, sexually assaulted and raped her, then recorded videos of her private parts and threatened to publish them and kill her if she failed to meet his repayment demands.
The suspect remains in police custody and is undergoing interrogation.
The command said he would be charged to court after investigations are concluded.
