In an exclusive interview with Sun News Online, in a private home in Abuja, Ese Oruru, the 14-year-old teenager abducted from Bayelsa State

and taken to Kano said it was only after she got to Kano and saw that the people and the environment were strange that she realised she was

no longer at home. Excerpts from her Interview below:


How did you meet Yinusa?

Ese: We sell food in Bayelsa; so they, Yellow and his other people, used to come and buy food from us.

What does Yinusa do in Bayelsa?

Ese: He came to Bayelsa to look for money.

People say Inuwa is your boyfriend. Is this true?

Ese: No, he is not my boyfriend. Like I told you, we sell food in Bayelsa, and so, he used to come and buy food from us. He is not the only one;
they are many and I used to play with all of them like my own brothers because they buy food from us. I sell food to them just like that.

Can you remember the day he took you from Bayelsa to Kano? How did it happen?

Ese: I don’t know.

Did he tell you that you were traveling to Kano?

Ese: No. We didn’t go with his Keke (tricycle). His keke, is at home.

Did he come to the house to carry you?

Ese: No.

So, how did you travel to Kano?

Ese: I just followed him. I don’t know how I followed him.

People believe that you decided to run away with him because you love him and want to marry him at all cost.

Ese: I know that we used to play with all of them, our customers that come to buy food from our shop. There is nobody that is different. I sell

food to all of them and I laugh with all of them.

So, how did you know you were in Kano since you didn’t know how you got there?

Ese: I saw that the place was different and the people there are people that I didn’t know. So, I knew it was his place because I did not know

anybody there, but only him. We went to their house first.

So, what did you do?

Ese: I did not do anything.

What did you tell him?

Ese: I did not tell him anything.

So, you just started staying with him like that?

Ese: We travelled to Kura the next day with one man like that. He is the chief of the town. When we got there, they took me to one place and

there they gave me hijab; they put it on me. And after that, they took me to one house in Kura. And from there on Monday, in the morning, we

went back to the Emir’s Palace in Kano; then in the afternoon, we travelled back to Kura, to stay in the house.

What did you all go to do at the Emir’s Palace?

Ese: At the Emir’s Palace, they were asking him questions. They did not talk to me. They did not ask me anything, but they were asking him.

Then they were speaking in Hausa language and I did not understand the language very well that time; so I didn’t understand what they were

saying.

Was it at the Emir’s Palace that you first saw your mother?

Ese: Yes. I saw her, but I was not able to talk to her. I was just looking at her and she was crying. I just looked at her. I did not know her and I

did not talk to her.

Did you recognise her as your mother?

Ese: I don’t know. I looked at her and she was crying.

But when you saw her on Tuesday at the Police Force Headquarters in Abuja, did you recognise her as your mother?

Ese: Yes.

While you were away in Kano, they said you got married. Is this true?

Ese: No.

Was there any marriage ceremony?

Ese: No, I did not get married to anybody.

But did they convert you to a Muslim?

Ese: Yes.

How did that happen?

Ese: They took me to one place. Before they took me from the house to Kura, they put me in hijab, then we went to Kura. When we got there,

they went to one place, and one old man came there and he would say something and they would say I should repeat. Then I would repeat. If

the man said something again, they would say I should repeat and I would repeat just like that.

So, that was how you got converted?

Ese: Yes.

There is also this rumour that it was one old man that actually married you and not Inuwa. Is this true?

Ese: I did not get married to anybody.

While you were there in Kano, did you ever fall sick?

Ese: I don’t know.

What kind of medical attention did you get? Did they give you any injection?

Ese: No, I don’t know. But they did not give me because I don’t like taking injections and I will not take injection when I am sick. It was only

when they arrested me on Monday in Kano that they took me to the hospital. And when we got here in Abuja, they took me to the hospital again

yesterday, Tuesday. Those are the only two occasions that I have gone to the hospital.

Did they give you any medicine?

Ese: Medicine? I don’t know. But if they put it in water or food… They used to give me something, but I don’t know if it is water they used to

prepare it. But if I am not well, they would buy medicine for me and I would take. But it was not those types of native medicine. It was from the

pharmacy.

Are you happy reuniting with your family?

Ese: Yes, I am happy to go back to my family.

How do you feel now?

Ese: I don’t know how I feel, but I just look calm. I don’t know what to do.

Do you regret what has happened to you?

Ese: Yes.

How?

Ese: I don’t know, but I have caused my mother a lot of trouble and put her into problem.

If you see Yinusa now, what would you tell him?

Ese:I tell you I’m confused. I don’t know what to do (then she started crying).

What were you doing when you were in Kano?

Ese: Nothing.

You mean you just stayed in the house from morning till night?

Ese: Yes. I did not do anything.

I can see that you now speak Hausa language very well.

Ese: Yes. I can speak Hausa very, very well.

Were you speaking Hausa before you left for Kano?

Ese: No.

So, how did you come about it? Did they teach you?

Ese: No. It is because the people there speak only Hausa. They don’t understand English. And when they spoke, I didn’t understand; so I tried

and struggled so I could understand what they were saying and communicate with them. That was how I learnt the language.

They call you Aisha. Didn’t you tell them that’s not your name?

Ese: I answered it like that.

What’s your real name?

Ese: Rita.

How would you relate with your other siblings when you get back home?

Ese: I don’t even know. I have a feeling that they would do something to me for this thing that has happened.

Like what?

Ese: I don’t know if my mother will beat me when we get home for what has happened because she may think that I know everything that

happened to me.

I don’t think she would do that, considering all the efforts she put to get you back home.

(Then the mother assured her that she would do no such thing, saying she was filled with gladness for seeing her alive).

How old are you? There has been a controversy about your age.

Ese: I am 14 years old.

When were you born?

Ese: I was born in February 2002.

What is your favourite subject in school?

Ese: Mathematics.

And what do you hope to become in future?

Ese: I hope to go back to school and become a nurse in the future.

Your brother said you are a good Christian and member of the Scripture Union in your school and that you used to preach to people. Is this true?

Ese: (Smiles) Yes.

Tell me about it.

Ese: Yes, I am in the SU, but they took it to the senior students and the senior students started misbehaving. So, we in the junior class took our

own to a different level to sanitise the whole thing. We hold our fellowship in our class and go out for evangelism.

What is your advice to young girls like you out there, considering what you have gone through?

Ese: They should be careful.

How?

Ese: They should be careful with the people they play with or talk with, because it’s not everybody that is good.

What is your appeal to your parents since you are afraid they are going to beat you?

Ese: I don’t know what to do. I am confused. I don’t know what really happened to me and I don’t even know where I am. But I know that she

is my mother.

What did you miss most while in Kano?

Ese: I missed my mother’s cooking. She used to cook sweet food for me; so I missed good food.

Does it mean you were not eating good food?

Ese: Yes, I was only eating rice and bread.


What would you want your mother to cook for you when you get home?

Ese: Banga soup and starch.

It's either she's lying or he jazzed her. I believe she's lying because, I've seen situations where girls have been declared missing only for them to show up few days later. She followed him willingly but when she decided to go back home, they refused. That's what happened. Quote me anytime anyday

Hehehehehe! That yunusa must not go scott free. As far as I'm concerned from this interview, yunusa had carnal knowledge of her in kano and NOT in bayelsa. Emir! Oya

Parents kindly monitor your wards closely because evil is lurking around

that was a solid jazz mhennn


too bad, 14yrs old?


God guide my nine girls for me o

lofty900:
U followed him because love is blind

how old are you? One day you will know what being responsible entails

in summary, she was jazzed by the paedophile.

Nigeria will remain a joke if Yunusa is not prosecuted for abduction and KIDnapping.


Where is that Mama Taraba that calls herself minister or noisemakers like buhari called them. This is where you need to show us that corruption is not allowed in Nigeria again

Tunami:
in summary, she was jazzed by the paedophile.

and the senior paedophile(Yinusa's father) saw nothing wrong in it

This is a distorted story from the young girl. She is afraid of telling the truth

#saynotochildmolestationandmarriage. This is obviously what they do to other young girls they marry. Hypnotism. These group of people never cease to amaze me with their WICKEDNESS!!! Later now, some will come and defend their so-called religion.
If sleeping with young children will make me go to heaven, I rather go to hell then . What a religion

Itz so obvious she was hypnotized

I tell Emeka say DAT abòki jazz this gal.

All those abòki u see always waka with magani and better jazz.

Paedophiles.

God have mercy!

extyme:
God have mercy!

you can say that again. My dear, I just weak as I read am

BiafranPrince:
I tell Emeka say DAT abòki jazz this gal.

All those abòki u see always waka with magani and better jazz.

Paedophiles.

but they will all meet their Waterloo very soon. Oya let's save patience too oooooohh. #freepatience
Let's not allow ese's story to cover patience's own abeg #freepatience

Mynd44, I told you to forget all about your assumed Stockholm Syndrome. It could never have been the case here. Have you seen that this is Africa and people practice voodoo? Diabolism is rife.... Especially among northern muslims. It's a known fact. That girl was kidnapped through evil means and taken to Kano just for the purpose of turning her into a sex machine.

Please can any of these 'One Nigeria' advocates tell me why I should be forced to remain in one country with these animals? People with zero respect for other people's rights and life.

lofty900:
It's either she's lying or he jazzed her. I believe she's lying because, I've seen situations where girls have been declared missing only for them to show up few days later. She followed him willingly but when she decided to go back home, they refused. That's what happened. Quote me anytime anyday

paedophile spotted

Islam..... Tears sorrows and blood.

The girl is covering up something. The emir house is also covering something, mama Taraba when are u prosecuting the al majiri that did this... Oh i forgot u are also covering him.

I pity u non-muslims who believe your god/ belief is the same with Muslims.
