14 year old Ese Rita Oruru, the Bayelsa born girl child who was abducted
by Yunusa Dahiru, alias Yellow but rescued by the Police in Kano, has been
discovered to be about 5 months pregnant, very reliable sources have told
Vanguard.
Consequently, it was gathered that the white Hijab dress she wore on her
arrival from Kano on Tuesday, was used to cover the pregnancy even though
her physical condition and looks created a suspicion.
Vanguard was told that it was the condition in which Police authorities
discovered about Ese that informed the IGP, Solomon Arase’s directive that
she should be handed over to the Gender and Child Protection Unit and
later, a team from the Medical Department of the Force to carry out a
comprehensive medical examination of the girl-child at the Police Medical
Facility in Area 1, Garki.
Upon certifying her medical status and emotional state, Vanguard gathered
that the Inspector General of Police feeling uncomfortable with the
transport arrangement of the mother that they return by road, cancelled
the arrangement and directed that both Ese and her mother be flown to
Yenegoa by air.
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.
