Ese Oruru’s Alleged Abductor Arraigned in Court | Claims Her Mum Knew About Their Affair

14-year-old Ese Oruru’s alleged abductor, Yunusa Dahiru, admitted responsibility for her pregnancy yesterday at a Federal High Court sitting in Yenegoa, Bayelsa State where he was arraigned for abduction, kidnapping, unlawful carnal knowledge and sexual exploitation.

The 18-year-old told newsmen he had been dating Ese before they both left for Kano, adding that her mother, Mrs. Rose Oruru, was aware of their relationship and that he were both leaving for Kano.

On Ese’s pregnancy, he said he did not know she was pregnant until the police told him and does not know how old the pregnancy is as he started sleeping with her months before they both left for Kano.

His counsel, Kayode Olashebikan, said,

“There is no case, it is easy for the prosecution to bring up charges, but Yunusa as a man has pleaded not guilty and it is left for the prosecution to prove their case beyond every reasonable doubt.

It is a case of two love birds, in our social parlance we call it elopement but government and the state prefer to call it abduction. It is left for the court to decide whether it is abduction or elopement of two minors because Yunusa is 18 years old and the girl in question is 14 years old.”

The prosecuting counsel, Kenneth Dka, however, noted that the state was ready to prove its case.
