Ese Oruru, Said She Was Not Interested In Reuniting With Her Family, by mukhtara446(m): 9:17pm On Feb 29, 2016 |
A teenager, who was allegedly
kidnapped from Bayelsa State
to Kano, Ese Oruru, said on
Monday she was not
interested in reuniting with
her family, denying reports
that she was abducted from
her home in Bayelsa State.
In an exclusive audio
recording obtained by
PREMIUM TIMES on Monday,
the girl also said she eloped
with her lover to Kano in
order to convert to Islam.
“My name is Aisha Chuwas. I
am 17-year-old. I came here
to be a Muslim and I will stay
here,” she said in the audio.
The recording appeared a
conversation between Miss
Oruru and a police
interrogator in Kano.
A human rights lawyer,
Huwaila Mohammed, who
was given access to the girl at
the Zonal Police
Headquarters in Kano, said
upon interrogation, she
understood the girl was never
forced to convert to Islam.
“I was there to protect her
rights,” Ms. Mohammed said.
“When I approached her
initially, she refused to talk
to me. Later she opened up to
me.
“She is very defiant. She told
me she was born in February
1999. I personally wanted her
to reunite with her family,
but surprisingly she asked me
to tell her mother that she
will never return to Bayelsa.
The police should ensure that she is
protected and returned to her family.
She is still not matured enough to take
such a weighty decision without parental
consent.”
Ms. Mohammed, who also spoke with
Miss Oruru’s lover, Yunusa Yellow, said
upon interrogation, she established that
he is 18-year-old man “not anywhere
above 20”.
“I was surprised when I saw a very
small boy. He is just 18-year old. I was
enraged thinking that it was an old man
involved in the saga. From the way I see
it, they eloped not because of religion
but love,” she said.
In his reaction, the emir of Kano denied
reports that he was holding Miss Oruru.
The emir said on Monday that since
September last year, the emirate council
handed her over to AIG Zone 1, Tambari
Yabo, for onward transportation to her
family in Bayelsa.
He said the district head of Kura brought
the case to the palace when Mr. Yunusa
presented Ms. Oruru to the district
office, seeking approval to marry her.
The emir’s Chief of Staff, Munir Sanusi,
further shed lights on the matter, saying
the emir ordered that she be return to
her family as she was too young to take
such decision.
“The emir attached the girl with the
palace emissary, Jakadan Mallam, and
one of her relatives to go to the police
headquarters,” Mr. Sanusi said.
“Since she alleged threats from members
of his family, we involved the police to
provide security.”
Meanwhile, the Bayelsa State governor,
Seriake Dickson, said he was on top of
the situation as he had spoken to his
Kano State counterpart, Abdullahi
Ganduje, on the matter.
The governor’s Special Adviser on
Media, Francis Agbo, said Mr. Seriake
had discussed the matter with Mr.
Ganduje on several occasions to ensure a
faster resolution of the crisis.
PREMIUM TIMES learnt that Miss
Oruru’s “kidnapper” has been arrested
and is being detained at the Zone 1
Police Headquarters, Kano.
The spokesman for the zonal police
office, Rabilu Ringim, could not be
reached to comment for this story.
Mr. Ringim, an assistant superintendent
of police, did not answer or return
multiple calls and text message. |

She has no choice in this matter, she is not capable of giving consent even if you add to her age that she is 18 or more generous and make her 21 years. By the way, why not video? 1 Like |
