Jubilation in Abuja as Police Arrest Serial Rapist Accused of Targeting Widows Over Loan Repayment
The FCT Police Command has arrested a suspected rapist, identified as Ahmed Usman, from Nasarawa State, over allegations of s£xually assaulting widows after allegedly giving them loans and using threats and blackmail to exploit them.
According to reports, the suspect, a father of six, allegedly targets vulnerable widows by lending them money with demanding weekly repayment arrangements before subjecting them to s£xual assault when they fail to meet the payment conditions.
One of the alleged victims, a nursing mother and widow, reportedly borrowed ₦600,000 from the suspect, with an agreement to repay ₦30,000 weekly in addition to the principal amount.
However, when she was unable to meet one of the weekly payment deadlines, she reportedly took ₦24,000 to him. The suspect allegedly forced her into his vehicle, drove her to an isolated location, s£xually assaulted her and recorded her nak£dness without her consent.
He allegedly used the footage to blackmail, intimidate and threaten her into silence.
Despite the threats, the victim reportedly summoned the courage to report the incident to the police, leading to the suspect’s eventual arrest.
The suspect is currently in police custody as investigations continue.
The arrest has been welcomed as a significant development, with hopes that justice will be served for the alleged victims.
