14-year-old Ese Oruru’s parents have cried out over threats to steal the baby girl their daughter welcomed three months ago after she was allegedly abducted and raped by one Yunusa Dahiru, who was recently released on bail.

According to Punch, Ese mother, Rose, revealed,

“Towards the end of July, a man traced us from the court to the Police Officers’ Mess in Yenagoa (Bayelsa State capital). We later overheard him talking in Hausa language to someone on the telephone that he had located the place where Ese and her baby were staying.

He said that they don’t want the baby to grow up with ‘these people,’ meaning us. My daughter ran to us when she heard that. I later sent my son to buy sachet water and he told us when he returned that he also saw the same man standing outside.

I later saw this same man walking back and forth outside the officers’ mess, and he was still talking on the phone. His movements were suspicious. Since then, we have been living in fear.”

She reportedly said the same man was with Ese’s alleged abductor during one of the court proceedings, and one of her children was assaulted recently while on a commercial motorcycle by some unknown persons.

She said, “The men sounded like they were Hausas; they asked her if she was going to the house the ‘government had paid for them.’ I didn’t know how they knew that. Before my daughter could rush into a tricycle, these men forcefully took away some of her belongings and the food she was bringing for Ese and the baby.”

Ese’s father, Charles, added, “With this incident, I am afraid anything can happen, and I don’t want any of my daughters to be kidnapped again.”

The Orurus also revealed they reported to the Bayelsa State Police Commissioner, who ordered security around the Officer’s Mess be beefed up. However, they said the number of police officers guarding the premises has now reduced, increasing the family’s fear.

Meanwhile, the state’s Police Public Relations Officer, Asinim Butswat, said they have not received any report of threat to the family.
