"Please Forgive Me"—Lender Who Raped Widow Over N30K Interest Begs After Police Parade, Admits Filming Her Naked

Abdulhameed Sherif · Nigeria · Nov 11, 2026

A Abuja money-lender, Ahmed Usman, has confessed to a chilling crime that has left the FCT Police Command stunned: after loaning a nursing widow N600,000, he lured her into his Toyota, threatened her with a knife, forced her to undress, filmed her private parts, and then raped her.

The arrest of Ahmed Usman, a suspected serial predator who allegedly preyed on widows and vulnerable women, was announced by the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, in a video shared on her Facebook page on Wednesday. According to Adeh, Usman's latest victim, a nursing mother, had borrowed N600,000 from him and was required to pay N30,000 weekly as interest, separate from the principal. Last week, due to poor sales, she could only afford N24,000 and went to meet him, hoping for leniency.

Instead, Usman allegedly pushed her into his Toyota vehicle, threatened her with a knife, and drove her to a secluded location behind the Chief's Palace in Lugbe. There, he ordered her to remove her clothes, recorded her naked—even instructing her to expose her private parts for the camera—and then sexually assaulted her. He also threatened to kill her if she failed to pay the outstanding loan, prompting the terrified woman to raise the money and transfer it to him before she summoned the courage to report the case to the Lugbe Division on November 5.

When police officers tracked him down, Usman attempted a brazen escape—driving away with a Divisional Police Officer (DPO) still inside his vehicle. He later claimed he only realised the officer's rank after the fact and returned to drop him off, a detail he sheepishly admitted during his parade.

Speaking to journalists, Usman did not deny the allegations. "I loan money to women. So this fateful woman, she took a loan from me, 600,000. Normally she used to pay 30,000 weekly, and finally the day she defaulted to pay, I called her, invited her over," he recounted. "She came to my car... And I asked her to take off her dress. So, after videoing her, I made love to her". When asked how he recorded her, he chillingly detailed: "I asked her to take off her clothes, naked her and I video her, even ask her to open her vagina, I video her".

Usman, who identified himself as a native of Nasarawa State, is married with six children. His plea for mercy was as desperate as his crimes were calculated. "Please I want the whole world to forgive me and give me a second chance. I am married and I have six children. I am very sorry to my children and my wife and to the whole world. Let me have a second chance, I will be the best father and the best citizen in this country," he begged.

SP Adeh confirmed that the investigation is ongoing, with the command working alongside the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) to ensure justice is served. For the widow and the other vulnerable women Usman allegedly targeted, the question remains whether his tearful plea will carry any weight against the gravity of his actions.
