The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has arrested a money lender who admitted to sexually assaulting a nursing mother and recording her naked after she defaulted on a ₦600,000 loan. The suspect, identified as Ahmed Usman, a native of Nasarawa State, was paraded by the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, following his apprehension by law enforcement officers.
According to police disclosures, Usman ran an informal money-lending business targeting women. He granted the victim a ₦600,000 loan under the agreement that she would pay a weekly interest of ₦30,000. Trouble began when the victim missed a scheduled weekly payment. Usman subsequently invited her to meet him inside his Toyota vehicle.
Once inside, he coerced her to undress, filmed her naked on his phone, and sexually assaulted her. Speaking during the parade at the FCT Police Command Headquarters, Usman confessed to the crime: ”I loan money to women. So this fateful woman, she took a loan from me, 600,000. Normally she used to pay 30,000 weekly, and finally the day she defaulted to pay, I called her, invited her over.
She came to my car, which is a Toyota car. And I asked her to take off her dress. So, after videoing her, I made love to her… I videoed her, asked her to take off her clothes, naked her, and I videoed her.” Usman further threatened the victim’s life if she failed to pay the remaining debt. The victim eventually raised the required funds, transferred them to Usman, and immediately alerted the police.
During the police operation to apprehend the suspect, Usman allegedly attempted to flee in his vehicle, unaware that one of the officers inside was the Divisional Police Officer (DPO). ”When I found out that it was [the] DPO, I had to make a U-turn, bring him back, and drop him. That is what happened,” Usman stated during interrogation.
The suspect, who revealed he is married with six children, pleaded for mercy and asked for a second chance. FCT Police Spokesperson SP Josephine Adeh stated that a full investigation into the matter is ongoing. She confirmed that the command is currently collaborating with the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) to ensure justice for the victim. The suspect will be charged to court upon the conclusion of the investigation.
