Suspect admits sexually assaulting, filming female debtor naked over N600,000 loan

FCT police have arrested Ahmed Usman, who admitted sexually assaulting and filming a nursing mother after she defaulted on a N600,000 loan.

The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has arrested a moneylender, Ahmed Usman, for allegedly sexually assaulting and filming a nursing mother who defaulted on a N600,000 loan.

The suspect admitted to the allegations during a parade conducted by the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, in a video shared on her Facebook page on Wednesday.

According to The PUNCH, Adeh said Usman specialised in lending money to widows and vulnerable women, demanding weekly interest payments.

She explained that the victim reported the incident to the Lugbe Police Division on November 5 after the suspect allegedly abducted and assaulted her over a missed repayment.

Adeh said the suspect had required the woman to pay N30,000 weekly as interest on the loan. When she arrived with N24,000 after experiencing poor sales, he allegedly forced her into his vehicle, threatened her with a knife and took her to a secluded location.

During the parade, Usman admitted recording the woman naked, saying, “I video her. I asked her to take off her clothes, naked her and I video her, even ask her to open her vagina, I video her.”

He also admitted driving away with a police officer during the arrest operation.

Adeh said investigations were ongoing, with the police collaborating with the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA).
