Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said Ummu Atiyah, 41, arrived at the Padang Gajah police station in Perak at 11am to  record another statement regarding her previous allegations, before being taken to the location for identification purposes.

Razarudin said Ummu Atiyah stated in her new statement that she was locked up in a house before being sent to her grandmother in Kedah.

“The victim stated that there was no incident of rape, molestation or physical injury while she was locked up.

“She attempted to escape but was caught and locked up again,” he said.

He said the identification process at the scene went smoothly before Ummu Atiyah was allowed to go home.

Razarudin said the settlement had been raided previously. Several children were rescued through a series of Op Global raids that began on Sept 11.

Ummu Atiyah, the eldest daughter of the Al-Arqam leader also known as Abuya, was taken to the location about 2.40pm, escorted by five police vehicles from the Taiping district police headquarters.

Dressed in a grey “kebarung” outfit, she was seen leading police officers to the location, believed to be a one-storey house at the settlement.

“Thank you, I want to go back to KL,” she said briefly when met by reporters before leaving at 3.07pm.

It is understood that the investigation at the scene was led by N Suder, a senior investigating officer from Taiping criminal investigation department, along with 10 policemen.

Yesterday, Razarudin said police were conducting an investigation into Ummu Atiyah’s allegations of oppression and captivity by GISBH members.

He said her statement was recorded at the Kuala Sungai Baru police station in Melaka on Sept 24.
