the youngman believed to have kidnapped a Bayelsa teenager, Ese Oruru Wednesday
declared that his son never cohabited with Ese Oruru “because of embedded
contraption that are highly offensive to my religion” and that “there was no
marriage between his son and Ese Oruru. Yunusa Father Yunusa Father Vanguard
had gathered from very reliable sources that she was 5 months pregnant, and
that was why she wore a white Hijab dress on her arrival from Kano on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the IGP has directed the Bayelsa State Police Command to take over
investigation in the child violence offense saga because according to sources,
the offense was committed in Bayelsa which is the place of residence of the
abductor, Yunusa Dahiru. Consequently, Vanguard was told the Yunusa will be
moved to Yenegoa to face interrogation and prosecution for kidnapping and child
abuse as well as violence against a girl-child. The Force Spokesperson, Acting
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Olabisi Kolawole, disclosed this at a
news conference in Abuja on Wednesday. Kolawole said that aside the prosecution
of the actors in the case, any officer indicted would be sanctioned
accordingly. “I can assure you that the abductor and all other actors in this
abduction saga will be brought to justice. “Any officer indicted of
professional dereliction will be firmly dealt with accordingly. “This is the
only way this nation can make a clear statement in unison that any individual
that violates the sanctity of the right of our children shall be dealt with in
accordance with the country’s laws,“she said. She said that Mr Charles Oruru,
father of the victim, had reported the matter to the police in Yenagoa.
Kolawole said further that one Mohammed Dankano, who was privy to the plan was
arrested and led a team of detectives and the complainant to Kano. She said
that it was confirmed in Kano that the state Sharia Commission and the AIG in
charge of zone 1 had waded in. The spokesperson said that all efforts to secure
and reunite the victim with her parents were hampered by some bureaucratic
factors until Arase’s attention was drawn to it. “I am delighted to confirm
that the police have today secured the release of Ese Oruru, the girl-child,
from the Kano State Sharia commission. “She is currently in safe custody of
officers of the Gender Unit of the force,“she said. “The victim is currently
being granted psychological and emotional support by officers of the Gender and
Child Protection Unit of the force,“she said. She said that a medical team was
also attending to the victim after which she would be re-united with her
parents. Kolawole also confirmed that the abductor had been taken into the
custody of the police. She appealed to the media to respect the privacy and
protective rights of the victim and her family. “This is the minimum legal and
international requirement in cases of this nature,“she said.
