Senator Elisha Abbo who represented Adamawa North in the 9th Senate is in police custody after turning himself in to the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) in Abuja over allegations that he raped a 13-year-old student.
The girl’s parents alleged that the incident happened on June 29, 2025, at Abbo’s residence in Katampe, Abuja. They also claimed that the former senator tried to cover up the case by offering money to the victim’s father.
The family of the victim also accused Senator Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed, popularly called Binani, of visiting them to discourage them from pursuing the matter publicly.
Reports indicate that Abbo is still being held at the FCID headquarters, where investigators are questioning him.
Abbo has been linked to scandals of this nature in the past. In 2019, a viral video showed him assaulting a saleswoman in an Abuja shop, which drew national outrage. More recently, he was accused of trying to blackmail a married woman with an intimate video.
