A teenager, who was allegedly kidnapped from Bayelsa State to Kano, Ese Oruru, said on Monday she was not interested in reuniting with her family, denying reports that she was abducted from her home in Bayelsa State.
In an exclusive audio recording obtained by PREMIUM TIMES on Monday, the girl also said she eloped with her lover to Kano in order to convert to Islam.
“My name is Aisha Chuwas. I am 17-year-old. I came here to be a Muslim and I will stay here,” she said in the audio.
The recording appeared a conversation between Miss Oruru and a police interrogator in Kano.
A human rights lawyer, Huwaila Mohammed, who was given access to the girl at the Zonal Police Headquarters in Kano, said upon interrogation, she understood the girl was never forced to convert to Islam.
“I was there to protect her rights,” Ms. Mohammed said. “When I approached her initially, she refused to talk to me. Later she opened up to me.
“She is very defiant. She told me she was born in February 1999. I personally wanted her to reunite with her family, but surprisingly she asked me to tell her mother that she will never return to Bayelsa.


“The police should ensure that she is protected and returned to her family. She is still not matured enough to take such a weighty decision without parental consent.”
Ms. Mohammed, who also spoke with Miss Oruru’s lover, Yunusa Yellow, said upon interrogation, she established that he is 18-year-old man “not anywhere above 20”.
“I was surprised when I saw a very small boy. He is just 18-year old. I was enraged thinking that it was an old man involved in the saga. From the way I see it, they eloped not because of religion but love,” she said.
In his reaction, the emir of Kano denied reports that he was holding Miss Oruru.
The emir said on Monday that since September last year, the emirate council handed her over to AIG Zone 1, Tambari Yabo, for onward transportation to her family in Bayelsa.
He said the district head of Kura brought the case to the palace when Mr. Yunusa presented Ms. Oruru to the district office, seeking approval to marry her.
The emir’s Chief of Staff, Munir Sanusi, further shed lights on the matter, saying the emir ordered that she be return to her family as she was too young to take such decision.
“The emir attached the girl with the palace emissary, Jakadan Mallam, and one of her relatives to go to the police headquarters,” Mr. Sanusi said.
“Since she alleged threats from members of his family, we involved the police to provide security.”
Meanwhile, the Bayelsa State governor, Seriake Dickson, said he was on top of the situation as he had spoken to his Kano State counterpart, Abdullahi Ganduje, on the matter.
The governor’s Special Adviser on Media, Francis Agbo, said Mr. Seriake had discussed the matter with Mr. Ganduje on several occasions to ensure a faster resolution of the crisis.
PREMIUM TIMES learnt that Miss Oruru’s “kidnapper” has been arrested and is being detained at the Zone 1 Police Headquarters, Kano.
The spokesman for the zonal police office, Rabilu Ringim, could not be reached to comment for this story.
Mr. Ringim, an assistant superintendent of police, did not answer or return multiple calls and text message.

Such story always follow similar trend. While the heavens fall, the lady involved will always insist she would never come out the relationship. I think there is something we are yet to know about these unholy marriages. It will not be out of place to ascertain ifvthe girl is still in her right senses. She may have been hypnotised. This is barbaric and should be condemned in all ramifications.

Who con dey lie na ?

Ehyaaaaaah! Dem don hypnotize her with 11-inch donkey phallus.

You sure say Sanusi never sample this girl?

Okay I give up

She is too young to make a sensitive and life changing decision like marriage.

The sex and probably money the man is giving her may have reset her brain.

She may be speaking under duress so that whatever they need to do to the abductor will be tempered.

Even if you want to marry a person's daughter at least speak with her folks except she is orphaned, or could the family have been maltreating her ?

The teen years are years of a lot of confusion though all those hormones can drive a normal person crazy

That one is rubbish....... They should return her to bayelsa and to her parents....

WHAT KIND OF COUNTRY IS THIS AND WHO IS PUSHING THIS DEVLISH NARRATIVE. It makes Muslim and Islam seem evil. Funny enough many Muslims aren't even condemning the evil act.

The boy is even less than 19years! It is just two crazy teanagers love/elopment.

Story don get k-leg.
But why was she interrogated by a Muslim?
If this had come from a Christian investigator it wud have sounded more blivable

Stalemate

Time bomb

The "human right lawyer is suspect"

i said it, that girl is a spoilt child even from her pose in the picture that was showed said it all. And moreover how can you follow a man to kano without ur parent's consent.

By the time they flog her with Plantain leaves that juju go expire.

I never expected her to say otherwise. After staying with the man for almost six months. She has been brainwashed or threatened for her to say that. #bringbackesetobayelsa.

Tunami:

My dear this whole thing leaves a sour taste in the mouth, a lot of parents today are an apology.

Aboki dick don dey sweey dis girl

This is what happened when culture is not properly instilled in children.

That is the headache of her parent.

And some folks have been ranting all day wanting heaven to fall on a matter that both yunusa and Ese had wished for themselves. Know the truth and it shall set you free.
We should endeavour to distance ourselves from petty insinuation as it does nothing good.
