Politics / We Lost Because Amaechi Talks Too Much by casmir378: 10:48pm On Mar 22, 2016
“We Lost Because Amaechi Talks too Much” – APC; “Hunger ‘ll Kill You”, Amaechi Fires Back at Okocha


Minister of Transportation and Rivers APC leader, Rotimi Amaechi has blasted APC candidates who lost the re-run elections yesterday saying “hunger will kill you (people)”. This was in reply to the stinker given to him and credited to his former Chief of Staff and aspirant to the Obio/Akpor Constitency seat for the Federal House of Reps, Tony Okocha.




Speaking at the Port Harcourt International Airport on his way back to Abuja, Amaechi said “its unfortunate that people who are contesting election are waiting for me to give them money before they can campaign. How can people be so wicked to themselves” he asked.



When a reporter read to him what Mr Tony Okocha said, including saying that he Amaechi talks too much and was responsible for their collective loss during yesterday’s polls, Amaechi replied “I doubt Tony said that, but if he did,, tell him that for waiting on my money, hunger will kill him too; You know I dont hide my feelings, thats why Rivers people love me”.

Also when queried for his response to the anger of APC members in the state who said “AmaechI’s Federal might is useless. We could have done better without the army that Amaechi brought” he laughed and replied “if you dont have something else to ask me, then you all should step back and stop following me”




At that point, his stern looking security details barred the press men and Amaechi walked to his waiting private jet marked JT56FTF .

It would be recalled that Mr Tony Okocha yesterday blasted Rotimi Amaechi accusing him of being responsible for their loss. He said: “We lost this election because Amaechi talks too much, Amaechi talks too much. l never liked his radio and
Tv ranting because he was just talking before thinking. He exposed our plans and brought the eyes of the whole world on Rivers State through his needless media noise.”

He continued “Even the money we asked them to give us for the election, he said the money would be given to us after the election because, we used the money he gave us for 2015 election to buy cars. What nonsense!
He should have just released the money then remain in Abuja, instead of coming here to cause more problems for us





It would be recalled that the APC candidate at the Rivers state legislative rerun election for Obio Apkor Federal constituency at the House of Representatives, Mr. Tony Okocha reportedly blamed former governor and Minister of transportation Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi for the parties loss in the rerun elections. Mr. Okocha who was Chief of staff of government house while Amaechi was governor said this while speaking with friends and associates shortly after the results of the polls started coming in. .

Politics / Ocholi: How Ankle Injury Saved Surviving Son by casmir378: 10:54am On Mar 08, 2016
By Emma Ujah, Abuja Bureau Chief, Luka Binniyat, Johnbosco Agbakwuru, Abdulsalam Muhammad, Henry Umoru & Ben Agande FG to immortalize Ocholi ABUJA—THE only surviving son of the late Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Barrister Aaron Ocholi, has promised to retain all the legacies of his father. Aaron Ocholi who is 25 years, according to family sources, was saved from following his father to attend the Church service in Kaduna due to an ankle injury he sustained while training on a football pitch. He was on crutches at the time the father and some members of the family embarked on the fatal trip. CONDOLENCE—Daughter of late James Ocholi, Ale and son, Aaron Ocholi at the residence of the late Minister of State at Kado Estate, Abuja, yesterday. Also yesterday, Deputy Governor of Yobe State, Abubakar Ali, was involved in an auto accident along the Kaduna-Kano expressway but escaped unhurt. Already, the Ocholi family house at 4 Daggash Street, Kado Estate, Abuja, was a beehive of activities, yesterday, as ministers, lawmakers and heads of agencies trooped to the residence to commiserate with the family. This resulted in a traffic gridlock on all the roads leading to the family house at Kado. Speaking to the body of Senior Advocates of Nigeria, SANs, that visited the house, Aaron said he would not tamper with the legacy of his father and will never sell his books and law firm, assuring the SANs that with them, he would not derail. Speaking to Vanguard, a close friend of the late minister, who was always regarded as his ‘twin’ brother by relatives, Tokunbo Obayan, a.k.a. Toks, described Ocholi’s death as a rude shock. He said: “It was so sudden that it was certainly unreal in the fact that, yesterday morning, we did not feel that something like this was on the cards. I actually was flying from Kaduna to Lagos, I live in Lagos. I had no idea that it was even between Kaduna and Abuja, only for me to get to Lagos and my phone rang from everywhere in Nigeria, confirming the ugly incident. “So, you can imagine the shock and now for me to also find out that it wasn’t just him but his wife and Joshua, that was like the world had crumbled on us because our families were like twin families. “My wife got the first text and she replied that it was not possible. My wife is the Vice-Chancellor of Landmark University and former Vice-Chancellor of Covenant University. “Her first reaction was that it was not possible, then the person now called her back and said it was all over the social media, it was devastating to imagine. Two weeks ago, I was here in this house, two days, four days we talked and we planned and to suddenly hear that it was like someone just shut the door, everything we have been planning, everybody calls him my twin brother, even when I am in Lagos, people in Abuja phoned me to find out where he is. “When we sat down there and we were discussing, the plans for the future, the fact is that as minister, he had to pull off from anything that will give any look of impropriety which Ocholi was particular about. Even his businesses and things that he was committed to, we were discussing how to handle them to make sure that there was no conflict of interest. “That was our last conversation. We were sitting here when he was about to travel to Kogi for the run-off election. He had five children, two sons and three daughters. Ojoni is the first daughter, Aaron is the second son, he was called to bar the day his father was screened in the Senate. “He went for a church service in Kaduna; he has been involved in Christian activities for a very long time and that was actually how we met. There is a bond between the two of us because of our love for God. “Even his coming into politics was to bring a dimension of cleanliness and most people will not understand if I tell you that Ocholi entered into politics because he had a call. I was the first person that he told. I was sitting beside him when he told me and said Toks, I heard God saying I should go and serve him in politics but I like legal practice. “I said if God said you should go and serve him that is where you should go. This is so devastating.” Also speaking, a cousin to the late minister, Isaac Agbanwu, a surveyor said: “We were not expecting this. “We were together on Thursday, our discussion was about a trip he was going to make officially and I was to meet him and then discuss with him before he travelled and I went, we discussed and I left his office on Thursday. “I was expecting that by Saturday, he would have travelled; I was not expecting him around, let alone hearing of his death. I also travelled to the village, it was on my way to the village that I was informed about his death, I had no option than to turn back immediately. It is bad news to us. “He has a son who is already a graduate, called to the bar. We are making him to understand that he should see it as a reality and not a drama. “He was a humble man, an accessible man, a man that has the comfort of people as his agenda before himself. He wouldn’t want to hurt anybody, he was always focused on heaven and did not want to be derailed.” 7 more still hospitalised — FRSC Kaduna State Sector Commander of the FRSC, Francis Udoma, confirmed to Vanguard in Kaduna, yesterday, that 10 persons were in the two SUVs, a Prado and a Lexus, involved in the accident that claimed the lives of the minister, his wife and son, adding that seven others who sustained serious injuries were rushed to the hospital for treatment. His words: “A total of 10 persons were involved in that sad accident. You have already written about those that died – the minister,, his wife and son. There are seven other victims, but they have all been taken to the Abuja National Hospital, yesterday. ‘’They were in two cars – a Prado and a Lexus. All I can tell you is that at the time we took them there, they were given prompt medical attention. Since I am not the one treating them, I cannot tell you precisely how they are responding. But, I am told that they are responding well”, he said. He’ll be immortalised — Ngige Meanwhile, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, yesterday, said the Federal Government might immortalise the late Minister of State for Labour and Employment, James Ocholi, SAN. Senator Ngige stated this after signing the condolence register opened in honour of the late minister in Abuja. He also disclosed that he had declared a one day mourning and a work-free day for the staff in the ministry yesterday, adding that President Muhammadu Buhari had been duly notified and that Ocholi might be immortalized by the Federal Government because he died in active service. His words: “Yes! The Federal Government will work out something. I have written officially to notify Mr. President about his transition and I believe the Federal Government will work out something because he died in active service. This is the second time the country is losing a minister of state, I think in 1982, the country lost a minister of state who went to São Tomé.” He said the Ministry will take care of the remaining members of Ocholi’s family and the staff of the ministry who sustained various degrees of injury in the accident. In a condolence message signed by the minister, he said: “My brother and comrade in the struggle for a better Nigeria, you left us suddenly and without a word. I’m still shocked. We are consoled that in the brief period we worked as compatriots, you have shown you are a true Nigerian and one who desires the maximum good for the common man. Adieu.” Yobe deputy Gov in auto crash Also yesterday, the Deputy Governor of Yobe State, Abubakar Ali, was involved in an auto accident along the Kaduna-Kano Expressway. An eyewitness, Sanusi Abdul, said the incident occurred at Daka-Tsalle town, along the expressway. “The SUV he was travelling in had a head-on collision with a Toyota Avensis. Fortunately, the deputy governor’s vehicle did not somersault, but the Toyota car was badly damaged and some of its occupants injured,” he said. Abdul, who said the accident occurred around 9:30 am, added that he also narrowly missed hitting the deputy governor’s car, adding that the deputy governor’s convoy later continued its trip to Kano. Efforts to speak with the deputy governor was unsuccessful as he neither answered nor returned calls. A source at Government House, Damaturu, however, said the deputy governor travelled to Kano on a condolence visit to Kano State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, who lost his mother on Friday. Confirming the accident, the Sector Commander of Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, in Kano State, Mr. Aminu Umar Jaba, said: “It was a minor accident blown out of proportion by an unnamed aide to the deputy governor. The commander, however, declined further details on the number of vehicles involved in the accident but blamed social media for exaggerating the accident. “As for the fact we have at our disposal, it was a minor accident. The deputy governor escaped unhurt and he is now at Ganduje village on a condolence visit.” PDP Consoles Buhari, FG Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has condoled President Muhammadu Buhari and the federal government of Nigeria over the death of the Minister of State for Labour, Mr James Ocholi. The party in a statement signed by the National Publicity, Olisa Metuh, said the death of Mr Ocholi came to “the PDP as a huge shock and prayed God to grant eternal repose to their souls”. Part of the statement read: “The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ali Modu-Sheriff, on behalf of the National Executive Committee, NEC, of the party condoles with the Federal Government and President Muhammadu Buhari on the tragic death of the Minister of State for Labour, Barr. James Ocholi SAN, his wife and son in a car crash on Sunday”. The party also commiserated with the minister’s family and prayed God to grant them the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss, adding that “the family should take solace in the exemplary and patriotic life lived by the late minister as well as his immense contributions to the legal profession and the nation at large. It prayed God to grant his soul eternal rest.” Saraki, Ekweremadu mourn Ocholi Also Senate President,Bukola Saraki, and the Deputy Senate President,Ike Ekweremadu, yesterday expressed deep shock and disbelief over Sunday’s demise of Minister of State for Labour and Productivity, James Ocholi, his wife and eldest son in a road mishap along Abuja-Kaduna Road. The Senate President, in a statement signed by his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu in Abuja, described the tragic death of such a “promising Nigerian” as the late Minister as a colossal loss to the present administration in particular and the country at large. He condoled with President Muhammadu Buhari, members of the Federal Executive Council,FEC, the governor and people of Kogi State, leaders and people of North Central zone and the immediate family of the deceased over the unfortunate incident. Saraki said: “I still recall when the late Ocholi appeared before the Senate to be screened and confirmed as Minister a few months ago. He was not only full of life, he came across to me as a man of great ideas and accomplishments. “He was very articulate and brilliant in his presentation and gave good account of himself as Senior Advocate of repute, who given the chance to discharge the duty assigned to him, would have contributed immensely in turning around the story of unemployment in this country. “His death and that of his wife and eldest son, is a colossal loss to me, his immediate family, the people and government of Kogi State, the leadership of the All Progressives Congress,APC and the entire country.” He prayed God to grant the souls of the deceased eternal rest, and urged Nigerians, especially his immediate family, to be comforted by the fact that Ocholi breathed his last while on acting service for his father land.

Sports / Leicester Players Refused Entry From A Night Club by casmir378: 2:57pm On Mar 07, 2016
Leicester players refused entry from a nightclub while Tottenham players allowed in



They are riding high at the top of the Premier League, but that hasn’t turned Leicester City’s stars turning into, well, stars.

Four players from Leicester’s table-topping team were refused entry into a London nightclub on Saturday while players from Tottenham were welcomed with open arms.


The Mirror reported that Danny Drinkwater, Andy King, Matty James and Ben Hamer were trying to celebrate Drinkwater’s 26th birthday at Mayfair club Drama, but had to step aside as Hugo Lloris, Eric Dier and Nacer Chadli entered the fancy club.


The whole country is cheering Leicester on in their bid to upset the established order but despite Drinkwater’s heroics at the heart of midfield, Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez are the most recognisable figures from the team.

Maybe if either of those two players, who will be in the running to be crowned Player of the Year, were present, Drinkwater and co. wouldn’t have had to face the humiliation of being turned away.


They had dressed up for the occasion, too, making it all the worse. Following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Watford, which extended their lead at the top of the table to five points, all Leicester’s players wanted was to celebrate.

They even had to stand and watch as Tottenham’s players were allowed in. The trio had a little less to celebrate following their 2-2 draw with Arsenal, in which they conceded the lead despite playing against 10 men.

FANTASTIC FOXES

Leicester’s players left in a taxi but they certainly wouldn’t trade positions with their Tottenham rivals. Lloris and co. are Leicester’s nearest challengers but the Foxes do not look like a team that will slip up.

Crime / The Untold Story Of Ese And Yunusa by casmir378: 8:30am On Mar 06, 2016
Ese & Yunusa affair: The untold story
By Yusha’u A. Ibrahim, Kano | Publish Date: Mar 5 2016 5:00AMThe story of Yunusa ‘Yellow’ Dahiru and Ese Charles Oruru can best be described as a version of the famous Shakespeare play, Romeo and Juliet, whose title characters fall in love against the wishes of their families. But with all the furore it is generating nationwide, is theirs a story of abduction or star-crossed lovers innocently eloping? Daily Trust takes a look.

Ese Charles Oruru
I consider Ese my own daughter – Yunusa’s father
Ese’s dad told us she’s 18 – Kano Hisbah
‘My son isn’t a kidnapper’
Ese, Yunusa never got married – Investigation

Yunusa and Ese, now famous around the country because of their relationship, fell in love against the wishes of their parents, findings by Daily Trust revealed. The twenty-five-year-old tricycle rider hails from Tofar-Danga village in Kura local government area of Kano State while Ese, 14, is from Yenagoa local government of Bayelsa State. ‘Yellow’, as the young man is popularly called, is a frequent traveller to Yenagoa, and is a popular water vendor in the Opolo area of the state capital before he became a tricycle rider.





As a water vendor, he supplies water to various people in the area including the family of Mr. Charles Oruru, whose wife Madam Rose, sells food in the area. Thus, he also supplies water to Madam Rose’s food shack daily. He also lives in the same area with the Oruru family, in a make-shift hut with his friends. He worked like a domestic help in Mr. Oruru’s house for many years before he switched occupations and became a tricycle rider.
Even after that, Daily Trust learnt, Yellow related closely with Oruru’s children. One of them, Ese, who always helps her mother selling food, normally serves Yellow with food whenever he visits. Sometimes, she even takes the food to his hut, it was gathered. Their closeness therefore resulted in a love affair, which is currently a national issue of sorts.
When the two, smitten by each other, declared their intention to become a married couple, their parents objected. However, sometime in August last year, they planned to elope, leaving Bayelsa to Kano, with the intention to actualize their dream of becoming husband and wife. But despite the ongoing outrage, Daily Trust findings in Kura, Tofar-Danga, Kano emirate, office of the Police Assistant Inspector General Zone 1 and Kano State Shari’ah commission, indicated that no marriage has been contracted between the two, either in a mosque or a church.
Yunusa’s father, Alhaji Dahiru Bala, explained that earlier before Ese was brought to Tofar-Danga, his son informed him about his intention to marry her, but he opposed the idea. “I warned him not to marry her. In fact, I forced him to stop going to Bayelsa, just to spoil his plan of marrying the girl.”
However, he said, three months later his son approached him again, requesting that he wanted to go to Bayelsa. Thinking that the marriage issue will not resurface again, he permitted Yunusa to go to Bayelsa.”
Yunusa’s dad also asked the young man’s mother to search for a nice girl for him, and eventually she got one in the village. “In fact, our plan was to contract the marriage this year but suddenly Yunusa brought Ese, sometime in August last year with intention to marry her. Initially, I objected, but the girl pleaded with me. I had to change my decision to save her life because of her desperation about my son. You know in this kind of situation, only God knows what will happen if at that time I insist that she will not marry him. However, that same night they arrived the village, I directed my son to report to the Village Head and he did.”
Alhaji Bala also recalled that the girl had spent three days in the village, Tofar-Danga. “She stayed with Yunusa’s mother, whom she considers her mother, too. She loves each and every member of my family. To be honest with you, I also consider her my own daughter.”
Asked whether Yunusa actually married Ese, Alhaji Bala said to the best of his knowledge no-one has married the duo. “The only thing I know is that the girl was converted to Islam by the Chief Imam of Kura local government after she declared interest.” He said his son has never been a criminal for him to abduct the girl, noting that his son worked for Ese’s parents for many years in Bayelsa State. He also said Ese’s parents knew Yunusa for the past 10 years, as well as everything about his relationship with their daughter.
Alhaji Bala said his son believes in earning an honest living, just as he raised him to, and that was why he has been travelling to the Southern part of the country to conduct his business. He also expressed delight at Ese’s reunion with her family, even as he appealed to police authorities to release his son.
Daily Trust also gathered that Ese’s parents traced the whereabouts of their daughter to Kano and followed her to Tofar-Danga village in Kura LG where they met her. However, she refused to follow them to Bayelsa. Having realized that Yunusa’s father and Ese’s parents went back to the District Head, who at that time sent them to the Hisbah office in Kura local government. They were finally taken to Kano State Hisbah Board headquarters where they met with the Commander-General Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa over the matter.
At Hisbah office in Kura town, an official of Hisbah, who craved for anonymity because he was not authorized, said the case was reported by the District Head of Kura, Alhaji Bello Ado Bayero, through the ward head of Kunshama. The District Head asked Hisbah to investigate the case. “After we heard that the intention of the girl was to convert to Islam and at the same time marry Yunusa, we then transferred the case to our headquarters for necessary action.” The girl lived under the custody of the District Head’s aide, one Malam Muqaddas Kura, for almost six months during her stay in Kura town, Daily Trust gathered.
According to Muhamad Sani, Yunusa relocated to Kura town because of Ese, after he learnt that she was in custody of the District Head’s aide. “The girl was entrusted to Maqaddas by the Kano State Shari’ah Commission after the case was transferred to the commission from the emirate council. During her stay with Muqaddas, Ese’s mother came to Kura to take her daughter home, but she refused to follow her,” he recalled.
When efforts to take Ese home proved abortive, the girl’s mother left for Bayelsa, only for the issue to resurface, the source said.
Yunusa’s friend, Garba Yakubu, said: “Contrary to speculation, Ese followed Yunusa to Kura willingly. In fact she paid her transport fare herself. Yunusa also informed me that he did all he could to convince the girl to stay with her family but she refused because she loves him so much. Up till when they both embarked on a trip to Kano, Yunusa was not certain whether the girl was serious about her decision to follow him.” He said Ese lived peacefully with people, and was able to learn the Hausa language during her stay in Kura town. “She is easy-going and within that short time she acquainted herself with our wives, whom she respects a lot,” he said.
Yakubu also said during Yunusa’s stay in Kura, he engaged in small-scale business because he is the type of person who doesn’t believe in sitting idle.
Also, Commander General of Kano State Hisbah Board, Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, said the issue was politicized, noting that “Yunusa neither abducted Ese nor did he hide her.” He said: “When he brought her to Kano, he reported the case to his parents who in turn took the case to the authorities concerned, including the Hisbah office. When we received the case, Ese, Yunusa, and their parents were all invited by the board. When she first declared her intention to convert to Islam, we asked about her age, and she said she was 18. We therefore sent her to court, from where she got age declaration. We also invited her parents and informed them about her intention to accept Islam. Initially, they objected her plan but later her father succumbed and allowed her to accept the religion she chooses. Her father also confirmed to us that the girl was 18 and therefore he has every right to practice any religion she wants.”
“Nobody forced Ese to embrace Islam. She accepted out of her own volition and at 18 she has every right to practice religion of her choice,” Daurawa said. The Hisbah boss also said only a court can resolve the complications surrounding the case, but as far as the Hisbah Board was concerned, due process was followed in Ese’s conversion to Islam. He also confirmed that the board has never contracted marriage between Yunusa and Ese.
Ese’s case was reported to the palace by the District Head of Kura, Alhaji Bello Ado Bayero. The palace, on its part, wrote a letter to Kano State Shari’ah Commission directing it to liaise with then-Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Zone 1, Muhammad Tambari Yabo to investigate and recommend action.
A copy of the emir’s letter to the Shari’ah Commission, obtained by Daily Trust, reads in part: “I am directed to draw your attention that Aisha Charles was recently converted to Islam through the Chief Imam of Kura local government and God so kind one Malam Yunusa Dahiru intends to marry her as agreement was reached between the two of them. In view of the foregoing, His Highness the Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi ll is directing your good office to investigate the issue,” concluded the letter, signed by Hamisu Garba Disu on behalf of Secretary of the Kano Emirate Council.
Reacting on the issue, the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, exonerated himself and the emirate council from the purported ‘abduction’ of the girl. He said he had since September last year directed Kano State Shari’ah Commission and the office of Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 1, to commence process of reuniting the girl with her family.
The emir, who spoke through his senior council member, Walin Kano, Alhaji Mahe Bashir Wali, said “Aisha Charles was sent to the emir’s court by the District Head of Kura, along with the village head and a man named Yunusa. The district head reported that he had received a report from the village head that the young girl from Bayelsa State, Ese Oruru had followed Yunusa to his village and accepted the Islamic faith at the hands of the Imam of Kura, and that Yunusa had brought her home to marry her as she was afraid of being killed by her mother for converting to Islam.”
Wali added that the emir, upon reviewing the report, referred the case to the Shari’a Commission for investigation and the commission in its report dated September 7, 2015 recommended that the girl be returned to her family since she was not up to 18. “The girl has not yet reached age where she could take decisions attributed to her without the approval of her parents. Therefore the girl should be handed over to the AIG in charge of Bayelsa State for onward return to her family,” he said.
The Walin Kano said the young girl was duly handed over to the AIG as instructed by the emir since September last year, and until the recent furore there has been no indication that the directive of the emir was not carried out, and at no time was the young girl in the custody of the emir or any official of the emirate council. The emirate therefore called on media and members of the public to always make inquiries and cross-check facts before rushing to spread false rumours that may endanger peace.
Daily Trust Saturday learnt that the Shari’ah commission on its part investigated the matter and reported back to the office of the AIG Zone 1 as required by the emir. The commission presented the letter to the AIG’s office on September 9, 2015. The commission, in its letter to the Police AIG, recommended that the girl be taken back to her parents to take good care of her, subject to four conditions. The conditions, according to the letter, a copy obtained by our correspondent include; one, the parent should continue to take good care of the girl without any threat to her life or causing any grievous harm to her being a Muslim and two, the girl should be allowed to practice Islam freely without any interruption or hatred.
The third condition was that the girl should be under the care and supervision of the Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Bayelsa State and fourth was that the people arrested by the police concerning the issue should be released and allowed to continue with their lives, freely.
According to the Director of Islamic propagation of the commission, Alhaji Abdulgaffar Uba Kabara, the commission had done its own part as far as the matter involving the girl was concerned. “The commission was directed by the Kano Emirate Council to investigate the matter and we have done that. The commission has written to the police AIG Zne 1 and had equally followed up the case on several occasions.”
Daily Trust learnt that since the case was reported to the AIG’s office by the Shari’ah commission, police did not take significant action until Monday, February 29, when armed policemen stormed the premises of Shari’ah Commission and arrested Ese, Yunusa and some officials of the commission on the orders of the AIG Zone 1, Shu’aibu Lawal. A source at the zone headquarters, who craved for anonymity, told Daily Trust that the action was an order from the Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase. Also, on Tuesday, March 1, 2016, Ese and Yunusa were moved to Abuja on the order of the IGP.
The AIG Zone 1, Shu’aibu Lawal, on Thursday said sometime in September 2015 a delegation from Kano Emirate Council and the State Sharia Commission, submitted a letter from the emir directing the police to reunite Oruru with her parents. “However, when they arrived here, it was already late in the evening, so both parties agreed to return the next morning to hand over the girl. But when they could not return the following morning, police assumed that the State Sharia Commission was able to resolve the matter. That was what we knew of the case, until last Sunday when the media broke the news that the girl was still in custody of Kano Emirate Council and Yunusa.”
“When we learnt that Oruru was still in Kano, our men swung into action and the girl and her lover were taken into police custody on Monday after they were arrested in Kura town,” he said, adding that the police should have followed up the case, but bearing in mind that the Shari’ah Commission was authorized by law to handle such matters, the police concluded that the matter was settled amicably.
On the alleged five months pregnancy, AIG Gambo said the medical examination was conducted in Abuja, therefore only the Force Headquarters can ascertain that. He added that Yunusa will be prosecuted before court of law for criminal charge of abduction, because the girl in question is still a minor, as such the case cannot be treated as elopement.
But the Director of Islamic Propagation disputed the claims, saying the commission had followed up the case severally. He said: “I have gone to the AIG’s office on this matter many times but I was denied access to him. In fact, I and my DG also went to the AIG but we were not allowed to see him. There was a time I went there and after spending several hours I was told that Tambari will travel to Abuja, and I insisted on seeing him so I ended up joining his convoy and I waited outside a bank till he came out and we discussed. He said when he comes back, he will invite me but I did not hear from him until last Monday when some armed police men stormed the commission and arrested us.”
Daily Trust reliably gathered that the girl was impregnated by a yet-to-be-identified person. It was gathered the girl exposed her pregnancy to a lady at the AIG’s office the very day she was brought there from the Shari’ah commission. However, the source said: “She did not tell me who is responsible and I don’t know how far along she is. Even before her confession, I noticed that from her behaviour during in my first encounter with her.”
Meanwhile, a human rights activist, Barrister Huwaila Muhammad Ibrahim said in Kano that contrary to speculation, the girl willingly embraced Islam. “From my conversation with the girl, Yunusa never abducted her from Bayelsa. She willingly followed him to Kano and she confessed that she wanted to marry him. Yunusa should not be punished for bringing the girl to Kano because she followed him willingly. He did not force her,” she said.
Barr. Huwaila assured that human rights monitors will continue to follow the case until justice is done to all parties involved. “We are on the case to ensure that justice is done to both Yunusa and Ese,” she said.
