As the campaign to secure the release of Ese Rita Oruru, abducted from Bayelsa State to Kano State by one Yinusa, continues, a man has taken to Facebook to blame the abductor for choosing her over the more “beautiful” Fulani teenagers.
Meanwhile, the Emir of Kano, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi II, has ordered the state Sharia Commission to liaise with office of the Deputy Inspector General of police, zone 1, to commence the process of repatriating and reconciling Ese with her family immediately.
Yinusa who resides in Opolo, Yenagoa, had abducted Ese on August 12 2015 and eloped with her to Kano and has refused to allow her return home. Her parents who had made several visits to Kano to secure her release, have been unsuccesful as Yinusa’s kinsmen insisted that Ese, who they now refer to as ‘Aisha’, belongs to them as they are ready to pay the necessary bride price.
