Social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has alleged that he possesses evidence linking former Senator Elisha Ishaku Abbo to the alleged rape of a 13-year-old girl.
Key Highlights
- VeryDarkMan claims he has evidence in the rape allegation against former Senator Elisha Abbo.
- He says he will make the alleged evidence public this week.
- He urged the Labour Party to replace Abbo as its 2027 Adamawa governorship candidate.
- The claims have not been independently verified.
- Abbo has previously denied the allegation, which is the subject of a trial at an FCT High Court.
The activist has called on the Labour Party to reconsider Abbo’s candidacy for the 2027 Adamawa State governorship election and select another flagbearer in light of the allegations.
VeryDarkMan reportedly made the claims while demanding accountability, saying he intends to make the alleged evidence public during the week.
He also claimed that other individuals have made similar allegations against Abbo and that he possesses evidence relating to those claims.
The activist urged relevant authorities to investigate the allegations, stressing the need for appropriate action if the claims are substantiated.
He further argued that the controversy could affect Abbo’s political ambitions, insisting that allegations of such gravity, particularly those involving a minor, should receive serious attention.
Claims Not Verified
However, the claims remain allegations attributed to VeryDarkMan. The information available for this report does not independently establish their veracity, and no supporting evidence has been verified.
Abbo’s response to the latest allegations is also not available at the time of filing this report.
Background
Abbo had earlier denied the allegation when it first surfaced in October 2025, describing it as false and a politically motivated smear campaign by his adversaries.
The matter is before a High Court in the Federal Capital Territory, where The Trumpet reported in March 2026 that the trial was adjourned after the office of the Attorney-General of the Federation took over the prosecution.

The development places renewed attention on calls for accountability among political aspirants and the importance of protecting minors from sexual abuse.
Any investigation into the allegations would need to establish the facts and ensure that due process is followed.
The next developments will depend on whether VeryDarkMan releases the evidence he says he possesses and whether the relevant authorities take up the matter.
