More trouble for s3x toy ex-senator Elisha Abbo as police raid his residence
Police from the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) in Abuja searched the Katampe residence of former Senator Elisha Abbo, who is accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old secondary school student and attempting to assault her 16-year-old sister in the Federal Capital Territory.
A petition submitted by D.I. Aiyedun & Co. to the Inspector General of Police, according to reports, alleges that Abbo not only committed these assaults but also intimidated the victims and their family.
The search took place shortly after Abbo was briefly detained and released on bail on Friday, reportedly due to intervention by influential political figures.

A source stated, “When the detectives arrived at his home, the minor and her family members were also present. They reportedly found Senator Abbo calmly seated in his living room, a free man despite the seriousness of the allegations.”
During the visit, Abbo’s wife acknowledged knowing the minor and heard her describe the specific location in the house where the alleged assault occurred.
However, Mrs. Abbo reportedly accused the minor of stealing her gold jewelry, escalating the situation, according to SaharaReporters.
The detectives had the minor’s family sign documents before leaving. The petition, addressed to the Deputy Commissioner of Police – Gender at the FCID, details a disturbing account of abuse and threats allegedly perpetrated by Abbo and his associates against 13-year-old Khadija Muhammad and her 16-year-old sister, Fatima Muhammad.
Abbo surrendered to the FCID following the petition. The victims’ parents claimed that Senator Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed “Binani,” a former senator and Adamawa governorship candidate, visited their home to urge them to keep the matter quiet.
They also alleged that Abbo sent money to the girls’ father to suppress the issue.The petition states that the primary incident occurred on June 29, 2025, at Abbo’s residence in Katampe Extension. Khadija was allegedly lured there by Nafisa Mohammed Chigli, a 17-year-old associate of Abbo.
“The suspect attempted to undress her, overpowered her resistance, applied baby oil to his manhood, and attempted to forcibly penetrate her vagina,” the petition states.
It adds, “After the act, he cleaned his semen-soaked genitals with a white cloth. She later informed her father of the horrific assault, but who blamed her and took no action.”
Fatima was allegedly targeted in a similar scheme by Zara Muhammad Chigli but escaped before the assault could be completed.
“In a nearly identical scheme, the victim’s sister, Fatima Muhammad, was lured to the suspect’s residence by Zara Muhammad Chigli,” the petition notes.
“The suspect attempted to sexually assault her as well. She managed to escape the situation before the assault could be completed, but the attempt itself is a grave crime that demonstrates a repeated pattern of predatory behaviour.”
Evidence includes a medical report from Deda Hospital, signed by Dr. Kehinde Duromola, dated July 11, 2025, noting bruising consistent with sexual assault. The report for Khadija, hospital number 31161, states, “Patient presented to our facility on 10th of July, 2025 with complaint of rape following a visit to a friend’s house about a week earlier. On examination, she was found to be anxious.”
It further notes a “bruise around the posterior fourchette,” with the gynecologist stating, “impression of sexual assault cannot be ruled out.”
Additional evidence includes a N200,000 transfer on July 1, 2025, from Hassan Kure Musa, an associate of Abbo, to the victim’s father’s driver, cited as a bribery attempt.
A video from the car ride home after the incident is reportedly in the victim’s possession.The petition highlights Khadija’s severe psychological trauma, including suicidal thoughts, as documented in emails to her school coach.
The coach noted, “From the time of the attack until now, the child has been suffering from various persistent illnesses that doctors have not been able to diagnose, which are consistent with the somatic manifestations of severe psychological trauma.”
They added, “She is severely traumatised and has not been able to associate well with her friends, leading to complete social withdrawal.”
Khadija wrote, “I feel worthless, unloved, invisible and so alone… I feel trapped in my own mind, my own pain and it’s exhausting just to exist.”
She also confessed, “I’m having suicidal thoughts I don’t know how much longer I can keep going… I feel like I’m drowning in everything that has happened… I feel like im a burden and think that everyone is better off without me.”
The petition alleges Abbo threatened to release nude photos of Khadija and made death threats against her and her mother.
Abbo has a history of controversy, including an arrest for assaulting a vendor at a sex shop in Abuja and accusations of blackmailing a married woman with a sex tape.
He was removed from the Senate in October 2023 after a court declared his election invalid.
Justice Muhammad Nuraddeen Bello of High Court sitting in Sokoto State has sentenced three men, including a foreign national, to death by hanging, after convicting them on charges bordering on terrorism and arms proliferation.
The convicts, Yusuf Muhammad (alias Sallau), a Nigerien; Jabbi Alhaji Yalle; and Kabiru Muhammad, were apprehended on 13th June, 2025, by the Department of State Services (DSS) Counter Terrorism Unit in connection with cross-border criminal activities bordering on arms trafficking and terrorism.
Bello, who found all three defendants guilty as charged and sentenced them to death by hanging, while also ordering the forfeiture of all monetary exhibits recovered from the convicts to the Federal Government, said: “The conviction is the latest in a series of successful prosecutions by the DSS in its sustained operations against terrorism and organised cross-border criminal networks across Nigeria.”
The sentencing is coming about two weeks after the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja sentenced each of the five suspects arrested on May 31, 2026, by the DSS for their involvement in the November 21, 2025, attack on St Mary’s Catholic School, Papiri, Niger State, to 25 years’ imprisonment.
Justice Binta Nyako, had handed down the judgment after the men, including two Nigeriens, pleaded guilty to all four terrorism-related charges, bordering on support for the commission of an act of terrorism, breaching both Section 16 of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022, and the Firearms Act, were pressed against them.
According to Count One, the men were accused of jointly conspiring to assist a terrorist by agreeing and intentionally playing various roles towards conveying 15 AK 103 rifles as well as about 1,434 rounds of 7.62mm live ammunition from the Diffa region, Republic of Niger, to one Malam Ahmad, a member of the Boko Haram terrorist group based in Borgu, Niger State, and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 26(1) of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022.
Primate Elijah Ayodele, is on the verge of coughing out a whopping N10billion, if he fails to offer unrestrained apology to Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, former Governor of Kano State within the next 24 hours, and retract his claim that the former Minister of Defence is bidding his time to betray Peter Obi, to whom he is to contest the 2027 presidential election as a running mate.
Without doing so, the controversial cleric, should be ready for a major court battle with the vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), the platform on which the pair is to contest the election.
In a letter indicating a legal action against Ayodele of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church over defamatory remarks, Kwankwaso, through Magaji Mato Ibrahim, SAN & Co., his lawyers demanded an immediate retraction and apology from the cleric over the allegations.
Details of the letter, dated June 11, and unveiled through the X platform of the legal team, was based on a viral video recorded during a live-streamed church service, where the preacher made allegations targeting Kwankwaso’s integrity as Peter Obi’s running mate under the NDC.
Quoting the cleric as stating: “KWANKWASO IS A FAKE TO OBI, KWANKWASO WILL BETRAY YOU. KWANKWASO HAS BEEN PAID TO BE VICE PRESIDENT TO OBI AMONG OTHER LIBELOUS COMMENTS WHILE PRETENDING TO BE A PREACHER,” the former governor said the comments were unprovoked, grossly unfounded, and carefully designed to create a rift within the ranks of the political party and its supporters.
Handing Ayodele a 24-hour ultimatum to publish a full and unequivocal retraction across all social media platforms and news outlets with the same prominence as the original video, they also demanded a written undertaking that he would cease and desist from making any further malicious statements against their client, warning that failure to comply, would lead to full legal actions.
The letter stated: “We shall claim substantial damages to the tune of Ten Billion Naira and cost of the action on a full indemnity basis amongst other reliefs.”
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday demanded the immediate end to the exportation of minerals from countries in Africa in their raw forms, which he said had led to massive exploitation of the continent.
The President, told member countries of the African Minerals Strategy Group (AMSG), a forum of Ministers in charge of Mining and Solid Minerals on the continent to speak with one voice to promote, collective interests, ensure value addition, and prevent the continent from becoming merely a source of raw materials for the rest of the world.
As the Grand Patron of the group, chaired by Dele Alake, Nigeria’s Minister of Solid Minerals Development, gave the charge while receiving a delegation of AMSG in the State House, Tinubu told the delegation that the group had a critical role to play in strengthening Africa’s bargaining power in the global mineral market and ensuring that the continent derives maximum value from its natural resources.
His words: “ What we should do is avoid bureaucracy and deceit; we must put an end to exploitation. The rest of the world won’t mind if your country is a cesspit of dams and rubbish and excavates your raw materials without giving value.
“It is our responsibility to collaborate and cooperate to ensure that these metals and minerals bring value to us, bring technology to us, and we can do it. It is how much each country will put into the research, development and refinery. I don’t see reasons we cannot demand centralisation of that conversation somewhere on the continent. So why not utilise that in our research and development and knowledge-based economy to enhance the quality of life and bring prosperity to our people.”
Emphasising that Africa possessed enormous mineral wealth that should be strategically harnessed to drive industrialisation, create jobs and accelerate economic transformation across the continent, the President, said the era of exporting raw minerals without local processing and beneficiation must give way to a new model that encourages investment in local industries, technology transfer and the development of value chains that retain wealth within Africa.
Alake, who had earlier expressed gratitude to the President for his exemplary leadership under the Renewed Hope Agenda, said the gesture had shown support for Nigeria’s mineral sector, especially in the local value-addition and economic diversification drive, where artisanal miners are empowered.
He told the President: “You encouraged us to look at the focal point of the establishment of this group, which is to ensure that the African natural resources, especially with regards to minerals, critical matters, are localised, the beneficiation coming directly to Africans generally.
“You charged us that we should set our sails very high and ensure that local value addition is a pivot around which all the objectives of this organisation should revolve.
“So, sir, we have gone implemented your charge and we are quitted that today local value addition is reverberating all over Africa.”
He added that some member countries have gone ahead to ban the export of raw minerals.
He explained members of the body were in Abuja for the Fifth edition of the African Natural Resources and Energy Investment Summit (AFNIS 2026), to push for a new continental approach to resource management and industrial development.
