Alleged rape: they are at home, not in police custody – Senator Abo

Senator Ishaku Elisha Abbo, who represented the Senatorial District of the North of Adamawa in the 9th and the beginning of the tenth Senate, denied the news that connected it to the rape of a 13 -year secondary school student in June this year.

Some media platforms were flooded yesterday of the news that the fought senator was in the police custody for the alleged rape of a 13 -year secondary school pupil with the strength of the accusation leveled against him by the mother of the alleged violent teenager.

But in a quick reaction on Friday morning in Abuja, Senator Abo refuted the accusation in his entirety describing it as unfounded, unfounded and mischievous.

Senator Abbo who reacted through the telephone conversation with some journalists who covered the Senate, said he was in his residence of Abuja (katami extension) for the whole world and not in any radius, inside the premises of a police station, not to mention the case.

“The aforementioned relationship is the manual work of my political detractors. It is a campaign orchestrated to disturb my peace from political enemies,” he said.

However, he admitted that he recently reported a desperate move of a Monger of money in his direction to the police he said, requested N5 million from him.

“I personally reported the desperate Monger of female money to the Department of Criminal Investigations of the Nigeria Police (FCID), in which we both were subsequently invited to question, just for me to read or listen to a completely different story several weeks later,” he said.

The speculations emerged online on Thursday, claiming that the former lawor was in police custody following accusations of having sexually attacked a minor in his Katami residence in Abuja on June 29, 2025.

The victim’s family also said that Senator Abo repeatedly tried to silence them by sending money to the girl’s father and also said that senator Aishatu Binani, the candidate for the governor of Adamawa of 2023, visited them to dissuade them from pursuing the case.

The latest controversy is added to a series of scandals that have followed Abo’s political career.

In 2019, he made national news after a viral video showed him to attack a woman in a sexual toy shop in Abuja.

Previously he had also been accused of trying to blackmail a married woman with an alleged sex tape.
