Former lawmaker Elisha Abbo has turned himself in. He went to FCID Abuja over a grave claim. Police say he came in to face fresh questions. The claim links him to a 13-year-old girl.
The girl’s parents shared a firm, grim story. They say it took place on 29 June 2025. They name Abbo’s Katampe home as the site. They also say he sent cash to hush them.
What the family alleges
They say he forced the girl during a visit. They call her a young, bright school child. They say he kept in touch after the act. They allege he sent money to her father.
They believe the cash aimed to buy their silence. Later on, they name Senator Aishatu “Binani” Ahmed. They say she came to urge a quiet path. They say she asked them not to speak.
Police confirm custody and probe
A senior officer spoke with a strict tone. He said the case is under deep probe. He added, “We will leave no stone unturned.” Officers hold Abbo at FCID headquarters for now. They plan more talks with all key sides.
Child rights groups have voiced strong shock and pain. They call this case a test for our courts. The Child Protection Network in Lagos led calls. Its head warned against any hush by strong hands.
Abbo has faced past public rage and harsh press. In 2019, a clip showed him hit a woman. He also faced a sex tape blackmail claim. Those claims drew more heat around his name.
Since 2023, he has not sat in the Senate. Since then, talk around him has been grim. Most news has not been about his work. Fans online now ask for a swift court move.
Last week, we covered Rudeboy legal action over harsh claims. Days ago, police vowed swift justice in FCT police probe.
As of now, Abbo has not made a statement. His lawyers have also stayed quiet for now. Meanwhile, FCID teams keep work on the case. More updates will follow when facts are clear.
