The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has arrested one Usman Mohammed and shared photo evidences of his alleged sexual harassment, rape, and cyberbullying.

FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Josephine Adeh, confirmed in a statement that on Friday, 6th November 2026, at about 7:05 p.m., a report was received at Lugbe Police Station alleging that one Usman Mohammed had been intimidating, sexually assaulting, and physically assaulting several women over debts owed to him.

“Following the report, a team of police operatives from Lugbe Division, led by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), immediately commenced efforts to track down the suspect. He was subsequently traced to Federal Housing Authority (FHA), Lugbe, where the police team moved to apprehend him.

“However, upon sighting the police operatives, the suspect sped off , attempting to evade arrest. The officers immediately gave chase, eventually overtaking and intercepting him before he could gain access to the expressway. He was promptly arrested”.

Josephine Adeh said preliminary investigations identified the suspect as Usman Mohammed, a resident of FHA Lugbe, allegedly involved in predatory money-lending practices, particularly targeting women, including widows and other vulnerable persons.

“In his latest activity, he lured his victim into his vehicle and drove her to a lonely area in Lugbe, where he sexually assaulted and raped her. He further forced her to strip naked and recorded videos of her private parts, which he used to threaten to expose her publicly and kill her if she failed to comply with his repayment demands.

“The suspect is currently in police custody and undergoing further interrogation. He will be charged to court upon the conclusion of investigations.
