Let
$p$
be a prime number,
$k$
a finite field of characteristic
$p>0$
and
$K/k$
a finitely generated extension of fields. Let
$A$
be a
$K$
-abelian variety such that all the isogeny factors are neither isotrivial nor of
$p$
-rank zero. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the finite generation of
$A(K^{\mathrm {perf}})$
in terms of the action of
$\mathrm {End}(A)\otimes \mathbb {Q}_p$
on the
$p$
-divisible group
$A[p^{\infty }]$
of
$A$
. In particular, we prove that if
$\mathrm {End}(A)\otimes \mathbb {Q}_p$
is a division algebra, then
$A(K^{\mathrm {perf}})$
is finitely generated. This implies the ‘full’ Mordell–Lang conjecture for these abelian varieties. In addition, we prove that all the infinitely
$p$
-divisible elements in
$A(K^{\mathrm {perf}})$
are torsion. These reprove and extend previous results to the non-ordinary case.
