According to the family, Senator Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed, popularly known as Binani and a former governorship candidate in Adamawa State, allegedly visited their home.
They claimed she pleaded with them not to go public with the incident in order to protect Abbo from further scandal.
The parents further alleged that Abbo had repeatedly sent money to the girl’s father in what they described as efforts to silence the family and prevent the case from becoming public knowledge.
Deji claimed that sources close to the family disclosed that the alleged assáúlt took place on 29th June 2025 at Abbo’s residence in Katampe, Abuja. The teenager was said to have been lured to the home before the incident occurred.
As of the time of filing this report, the former lawmaker was still being held at the FCID, where investigations are ongoing according to the source.
