Not long after reports confirmed that Ese Oruru has been rescued, Premium Times published the interview between a police interrogator and the 14-year-old, where she claimed she was never abducted nor forced to convert to Islam.

My name is Aisha Chuwas,” she said, claiming a new name. “I am 17-year-old. I came here to be a Muslim and I will stay here.”

When asked what she was doing in Kano, Ese said, “I am not doing anything but I come here to be a Muslim and I will stay here.”

Meanwhile, human rights lawyer, Huwaila Mohammed, who reportedly spoke to Ese Oruru and her lover Yinusu Yellow, said the couple ‘eloped not because of religion but love.’

Read her note:

“I was there to protect her rights. 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. I was surprised when I saw a very small boy [Yinusa Yellow]. 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.”
