Miss Ese Oruru, the minor, who was allegedly abducted and forcefully converted to Islam and married off in Kano by one Yunusa Dahiru, appeared again on Friday at the Federal High Court Yenagoa where she testified in secret.
At the resumed hearing at the FHC siting in Yenagoa, her parents and journalists were not allowed to witness the court’s proceedings.
Ese, who was brought to the court under tight security, appeared in hood, as her head and face were covered with brown scarf.
She was hurriedly ushered into the courtroom, just as policemen prevented journalists from taking her pictures.
But a source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said she was briefly cross-examined by the defence counsel led by Kayode Olaosebekan, before Justice A. Nganjiwa adjourned the matter until Friday, July 8, for further private hearing.
Meanwhile, indication has emerged that Yunusa Dahiru, alias Yellow, the accused person, who is still in prison custody, might get bail on Monday.
His lawyer, Kayode Olaosebekan, said that the processes to perfect his bail condition had reached an advanced stage.
Olaosebekan said, “We are still working on the bail and we are trying to perfect the bail conditions.
“The court is in the process of verifying sureties and we hope that by next week Monday, Dahiru will be out.”
Yunusa has been in prison custody due to his inability to meet the bail conditions of a level 12 civil servant, a traditional ruler from Bayelsa State and a surety of N3m.
However, the Nganjiwa had later relaxed the bail condition to a level nine civil servant, and further granted the prayer of the defendant to also allow an Hausa traditional ruler from any community to stand as surety.

so this case is still open

^^^^^Yes it is still going on; but many of those who rushed and spoke too soon have apparently all of a sudden lost their voices - Ben Bruce, FFK, Tunde Bakare etc.

What is even more interesting is the fact that after conducting trial and convicting Yunsu guilty throughout the media, why are they now conducting the trial in secret, what is there to hide that the media had not already exposed - unless of course the embarrassing real truth i.e. that not all the parties involved are as innocent as they were made to look.
