Ese arrives Abuja with handcuffed ‘kidnapper’

According to Premium Times, Miss Oruru arrived the Nigeria Police Headquarters in Abuja at exactly 12.55 pm, dressed in a native attire and white hijab.

The travelling team comprise an assistant commissioner of police and other top ranking officers.

Sanusi’s denial follows claims by the Zone 1 Police Command, Rabilu Ringim that the teenager was on her way to the Police Headquarters in Abuja to re-unite with her family in Bayelsa State.

“That is why we said she must be taken back to her parents”.

Her alleged kidnap has caused quite an outrage, as earlier on Monday the President of the Ijaw Youth Council, Comrade Udengs Eradiri, in Yenagoa issued a 14-day ultimatum to the Arewa Community in Bayelsa State to ensure that she is released and safely returned to the state. “She does not want to go back but I have insisted she must go”, she quoted the Emir as saying.

“I ordered for her immediate repatriation to her parents who were said to be in Bayelsa State”.

Minister of Women Affairs had said she would lead the free Ese crusade.after The Punch Newspaper broke the story last Sunday.

While her mother was told that Ese had converted to Islam and, therefore, was no longer her daughter, her father was told that his daughter was an 18-year-old adult and not 14, hence she was capable of making decisions for herself.

On Tuesday morning, a rights group, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), called on Nigerian authorities to immediately commence the prosecution of Yunusa Yellow, the man who allegedly abducted the minor from her Bayelsa home, and took her to Kano for underage marriage.
