The
Bayelsa-born teenager, Miss Ese Oruru and her alleged abductor, Yunusa were
Tuesday morning, flown to Abuja by the office of the Assistant Inspector
General of Police Zone 1. Police spokesman, Rabilu Ringim told Vanguard on
telephone that the duo were taken to the Inspector General of Police, who will hand
over the 14 years old girl to her family. Ese Ese Rabilu said “the girl and the
boy have been flown to Abuja headquarters of the Nigeria Police for proper
handing over to her parents”. The spokesman was however silent on the fate of
Yunusa, the alleged abductor, who was flown to Abuja with Ese.
The girl’s
father, Mr. Charles Oruru, who spoke to Vanguard in Yenagoa, yesterday said:
“Without the support of the media and civil society groups, there is nothing I
could have done. Left to the police, the matter would have died a natural death
and she would have been lost in Kano. We are praying for her return so that we
can all celebrate. “If they bring my daughter back successfully, I will be very
happy. I am like a fish out of water. I have not been myself since she was
forcibly taken away from us. “Whenever I think of her, I shed tears. She is
only a minor. She was taken away when she was 13 years old, but she is now 14.
I do not have many children and the few I have, I make sure I take good care of
them because I know they will be great in future.”
