TO ME THIS GIRL WAS NEVER ABDUCTED AS WE ARE MADE TO BELIEVE.I WILL ADVOCATE THAT SHE IS PERSUADED TO GO WITH THE PARENTS AND THEN ALLOWED TO MAKE A CHOICE WHETHER TO STAY WITH YINUSA AND HIS PARENTS OR MOVE TO BAYELSA.
You are trying to justify the shameless story you put out yesterday for which you were roundly condemned.
Even if Ese willingly went with the Pedophile to Kano, is PT unaware she is a minor?
By the way is PT unaware that you are not to interview a minor and publish in the absence of his or her parents?
I am truly DISAPPOINTED in PT.
Is PT saying it is ok for minors to launch into misguided marriage trips to Kano? I don't get this line of reporting. Coat it as you like, It is just morally and ethically wrong.
With newspapers like PT, what is the fate of poor young female children of Hausa/Fulani tribe? They are the most vulnerable group in Nigeria - over 80% are uneducated and over 60% are married off before they are 15yrs.
PT with your underhanded attempt to support the oppressors of this group - who will give voice to the voiceless?
NigeriaKitchen: It's really funny how Nigerians pretend online as if we all aren't Africans.
Who doesn't know about black magic Touch and follow
Many ladies or girls are dating men or married to men they would never accept on a clear eye. But such men used black power, magic rings, perfumes, handkerchief, facial powder, etc to make these girls and women agree out of their normal will
Many men use jazz (spell) to lure women into relationship and marriage
This is more rampant among Hausa and Yoruba men.
Go to secondary schools, young boys use touch and follow rings to hypnotize girls for sex.
There was a time we employed a Hausa guard to guard our house in the village...this Hausa guy came with his jazz....hypnotized many village girls and even sold touch n follow rings to boys in our village which the village boys also used to defy girls in the village. A young boy in my village narrated the story, and many of the village boys later confessed
The Hausa guy brought so many type of juju to our village...sold many to my village boys including neck scarves than turn to snake when angered.
Sometimes he would pour fuel on his hand and light matches...it will be burning and nothing will happen to his skin...according to boys in my village.
Finally, we sacked him and he returned back to the north.
This Ese girl must be under spell...take it or leave it. Hausa boys use it a lot on girls. they believe so much in juju, jazz.
The only pride of an average Hausa man is his juju or jazz, too bad!
In Nigeria, Igbo boys believe in using money to get girls.
Calabar/Akwa Ibom boys believe in using good food and sex to hypnotize women
Yoruba men believe in using money, swag and some jazz to get girls.
Hausa/Fulani men believe in using jazz, juju to get girls!
Bini, Bayelsa boys believe in using money to get girls
Warri boys believe in using joke to get girls!
So many men use love spell and magic ring, perfume to hypnotize women to date and marry them, women be watchful....dont argue it, it's real!
Devil have power, God didn't collect power from devil, be very prayerful!!
If he kidnapped her and forced her to covert...yes, he must be punished severely. Life imprisonment will do him good.
If he didn't....then he has committed statutory rape however I don't think he should be punished for it.
1) It is not unusual in Nigeria and what happened was consensual.
2) What about Yerima?
You can now see that Nigeria is a joke and it is totally unacceptable to join religion with the state - They don't roll at all but these paedophiles in the North will never listen. Secularism and Islam is a big 'no'.
Reading some comments here...wow!! so because the girl was making noise, she should be allowed to chose between her parents and Yunsa?.. why wasn't Zara allowed to chose between her parents and her boko haram husband even when she was very desperate to go back to him!
olapluto: Nigerian bigots will jump on any case just to make mouth. It was obvious from the onset that the two were in love and eloped. Also, it is clear that Ese's mum knows more than she's saying. Shame on all those who have insulted Islam, Northerners and Hausas in general. Yinusa has behaved more responsibly than most youths down south.
another paedophi'e detected....shameful beings...u guys are jst pest ....ekpeti ure
The trash observed from this puke-worthy scenario come in order of precedence.
She may have a right, but inasmuch she didnt have consent from her parents, she should get back, besides why are they in kano not even stringent? The girl looks absolutely comfortable with this eloping event. Will i be unfair if i say 'always from the north'?
If this girl have her way at this age, then other 14yr olds would already have a backing to do same. Well the bethrotal stuff is way into the past. Smh
Smh. The trash meant for GarbageCity from this case is still loading
fiizznation: Hypocrisy in this country stinks to high heavens. You see people insulting Islam over what is a norm in the suppose "holy south" were a girl leaves her parents home to be with her man friend even when she is 14yrs. The funny thing about the people insulting Islam is that they are dirty people doing all sorts of dirty and abominable things.
How can a sane man "abduct" a supposed sane girl from beyelsa to kano without her full consent? Does it even make any sense? So yunusa forced the girl into a cab all the way from bayelsa to kano without facing any resistance from her or without anybody noticing? This is the very vital question the "holy ones" need to ask themselves
kip supporting evil...........dis guys were acting a script here to deceive gullible ones like u.........mumu
They can't just hold on to their uncircumsized johns for two seconds. They are living-breathing proof that despite all attempts at civilization, man is indeed no different from his ape cousins.

If you have a public school teacher in your family, call the person now and ask him/her whether or not this is unusual. Stop being a bigot
Don't take it out on me dear, it not my fault your religion is seen as evil, you and your ilks should be tolerance instead of trying to bomb the world to a standstill. It's not my fault you guys are know for terrorism and evil.

The people who see it as evil are mad!
It is not fault Africa still bleeds everyday, let's blame the evil Christians
You disgust me! The fact that some things are done does not make it right. May same fate befall you if you see nothing wrong in this whole scenario. Do you know the emotional trauma the parents have been through this past months? Tufiakwa!

I heard she was housed in the Emirs palace .
No one is joining religion with the state. Nigeiria is not an Islamic country.

Imagine a dirt talking
My friend, how do you define a religion that encourage its members to molest underage girls, kidnapping, bombing and all sorts of abnormal and evil things.
BTW, I don't hate your religion, I just pity people like you
mynd1: Yunus should return dis girl to her parents n apologise to them. At least all dis hypocrite christians will let us hear word.
I don't know why you used the word "hypocrite Christians" it seems the whole saga is normal to you...well everyone has their odd & abnormal religious views and perspective but enforcing it on other tribes and religion is the last straw...
I know you'll like men old enough to be your grandpa hump dat your small yansh till you can't walk again but it's offensively disgusting to we the "hypocrite Christians" thank you.

I never expect any sane human being to reason with these people first of all most of them are human physically but not mentally they can't differentiate left from right infact they don't know their left non their right so it is a waste of time and energy trying to reason with them because they are deaf and dump one thing they are good at is hate and insult on social media which I doubt if they can do it openly because they lack the balls to do so. they think of themselves above others but in actual sense they are disaster to this great country,they involves into every illegal business provided green papers is there for the taken be it Arm-robbery, Kidnapping, Drugs, Fake product, Babies factory to mention a few. So whoever think that these set of people can reason rationally is wasting his time.
Most of you haven't been to the north but can tell how n ortherns act more than those of us there,if some of you use your senses you would ask how come all other tribes in the north haven't been islamized? We go to church in the north east with special army protection throughout the duration of the services provided by the northern governors but you nothing's come here to ignite hatred which will consume all of you promoting disintegration.
It's very clear there was no abduction,bayelsean ladies are loosed go ask questions,their parents even encourage them.
Pls one quick question. Why do you have to go to church in the north east with special army protection? Down south here we go to church freely like normal people do. And pls are loose bayelsa minors meant to be married off because they are loose? Good old days in sec schl wen our parents saw us with d opposite sex or suspected funny things and we were punished or flogged or grounded why didn't they leave us to continue as per our consent...if a child does wrong pls what is the right thing to do to that child? Leave him/her to continue cos its of their full consent? Honest answer pls. Pls no harsh words I will just like to your honest opinion.
highskies: This doesn't happen to be like brainwash. However so, I believe she should be returned to her people.
This issue has been seriously twisted and used as basis to tag Islam as barbaric and also taint the image of the Emir of Kano HRH Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.
I am a muslim and a revert for that matter. Islam is a religion of peace but due to our peculiarity here in Africa and Nigeria most especially, we judge on "bookcover" approach.
I guaranty that 60-90% of people that have made all sorts of negative comments on this issue have NO CLUE about what the Holy Quran or Hadith says about marriage. We need to live above pettiness and religious bias.
I'm of the STRONG BELIEF that the young lady should be returned to Bayelsa regardless of her feelings. Its left to her parents to try and connect with their daughter emotionally with a view of understanding her mindset.
I hope the parents would also deem it fit to explain to the world where their daughter learnt Hausa or whether they feel it was as a result of hypnotism. If so that would be one hell of a hypnotism #onlyinNigeria
Please feel free to air your opinions bit please objectively.
re'igion of prace...wen dere is no peace in any muslim nation....u guys arevjst pathetic
Yunus is just a common criminal for slam... Looking for a vergin to marry. And he forgot the empty promise of 20 vergins by their master after death ....... Dirty religion practice by dirty kind of people . with arkward way of thinking. Like their master
Truckpusher: You seem to be speaking from the four parts of your mouth my friend .
Yunusa isn't smart , he only succeded on questioning the Nigerian laws if it is more importnant than the Islamic laws being practiced widely in the North yet they want everyone to remain in one Nigeria by fire by force . His actions if not probably handled will usher in deliberate attempts by paedophiles across the country to get away with a heinous crime all masked in the name of religion. This is the time to question the integrity of the Nigerian constitution and Yunusa just did it and it is now left to this administration with all her Mr integrity mantra to follow the course of justice and punish whoever was involved no matter how highly placed. If not Nigeria will still remain a joke. Nnamdi Kanu could be right even if I never liked his method. If we go by your argument that she's a product of the society she lived in then it is then justified to accept it in good faith if your younger brother brings home an underage girl ? Or on the other hand : you'd be glad if your underage daughter runs away from home for whatever reason and someone marries her off without questions? What are you actually saying ?
Oga i would actually like to know how many states you have lived in and for how long you need to visit some states and you will actually have a better idea of what i am trying to say here alot of parents these days are lazy and shying away from their responsibilities it has gotten so bad most dont even know what their kids do can you just imagine a girl of 14 would suddenly wake up one morning and elope with a man that does not happen over night this thing has been going on for awhile parenting in Nigeria is messed up this days you see a teen using a phone worth more than $500 and the parents dont ask questions it is that bad if you monitor your child very well and keep close tabs i dont see how possible it would be for Ese to elope with Yinusa i have lived in Lagos ,Kano,Ondo,Benin ,Port harcourt so dont sit behind your screen and tell me what i know and what have seen if yinusa was from bayelsa this news wont be here go to yenegoa and environs you will see that this is not new young beautiful girls pushing themselves at men and are ready to be 2nd and 3rd wives

Rapists, paedophiles invade Enugu
Group moves to curtail rising rape rates, as 320 cases are reported in one year
From Petrus Obi, Enugu
[b]The stories were all the same. Their common denominator was chilling. For instance, there was the story of a 78-year-old landlord who defiled his tenant’s daughter. There was also that of a 10-year-old girl who was defiled by a student in one of the high institutions in Enugu. The student in question was staying with the girl’s family. Narrating her story, the nine-year-old girl (name withheld) said that her landlord used threats and intimidation on her before committing the act on June 1. She recalled how the suspect, Chief Ogbodo, invited her to his flat while he was alone and stripped her naked before assaulting her several times. She recalled that after the act, she started bleeding severely and the suspect tried unsuccessfully to stop the bleeding, deploying both his handkerchief and shirt to clean the blood. She said he was still battling with the bleeding when his wife arrived and began knocking at the door. “While he was cleaning, the wife came knocking at the door; the wife’s knock was so loud. When he later opened the door, the wife asked me about what the husband did, and I told her,” the girl recalled. Our correspondent learnt that the case was charged to court and the man duly remanded. He was however, released and the case file was moved to the office of the DPP. Similarly, a young woman narrated her experience at the hands of rapists who appear to have taken over the Coal City. “I came out in the middle of the night to ease myself. But unknown to me, about five boys were hanging around the house. Immediately they sighted me, they attacked me, grabbed me and took turns to rape me. Afterwards, I reported the case to the police. Three of them were arrested, while two ran away. Since then, I have been receiving counselling and treatment at Tamar Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC).” Another victim a 14-year-old girl said that she was passing through a lonely lane in the city when three boys allegedly pounced on her, beat her up and violated her sexually. Also speaking, a distraught father of a young girl whose daughter was assaulted in his presence narrated the ugly incident. “I was inside my house at midnight when robbers barged into my home. They robbed me of my money and other valuables. They tortured me and then defiled my daughter right in my presence.” With no fewer than 320 cases of sexual assault recorded in less than one year, it might not be out of place to say that rapists were actively on the prowl in the Coal City hitherto, known for peace and social tranquility. TAMAR Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC), a joint initiative of Women’s Aid Collective (WACOL) in partnership with the Enugu State Government, is a child of necessity born out of the need to check the incessant cases of rape in the state. The ministries of Health, Justice, Gender Affairs and Social Development, the reporter learnt, are involved alongside the Enugu State Police Command. They are all partners in the fight against rape. Set up in March 2014, TAMAR SARC provides high quality and confidential, medical, counseling and other support services to victims and survivors of sexual assaults so that justice could be achieved. It provides medical treatment, drugs, counseling forensic medical examinations/reports as well as supports recovery and encourages reporting of rape cases and other sexual assaults to ensure that justice prevails. During a recent meeting with journalists in Enugu, the organisation announced that a staggering number of 320 rape cases were recorded in the state between April 2004 and 2015. The report also showed that 25 victims out of the reported cases were girls under the age of five while 57 were below the age of 10. The report revealed that most of the perpetrators were often known to the victims. Most of the victims, 243 in number, were raped by one person while 72 cases were gang raped. Presenting the statistical report during a meeting with Media Against Violence Network, the manager of Tamar SARC, Miss Nkechi Nwabueze, noted that the figure reflected only the few cases reported to the office, adding that many cases were not reported. Out of the cases, only one was successfully prosecuted. She revealed that the perpetrator was already doing a 14-year-jail term. Miss Nwabueze said the media parley, was to brief journalists on the activities of Tamar SARC and seek their partnership in the fight against rape. The media and the general public she said, owed a duty to protect the children and youths by frequently reporting sexual violence and its consequences to the society. She added that out of the 320 cases recorded by the centre, only 28 were charged to court. She attributed the low record of prosecution to the reluctance of parents and victims’ in seeking legal redress and the culture of silence associated with rape. “Tamar SARC’s door is always open; we just need people to report cases through our hotline. They can also visit our office,” she said. She lamented that some parents always retreated when it came to pursuing cases, stressing that any rapist or paedophile must be sent to jail to serve as a deterrent to others, thus stopping serial rapists who were on the prowl. Also speaking at the event, the Behavioural Change Communication Officer at Path2, Mr. George Eki, said that the society needed champions of change, and urged the journalists to take the lead battle against sexual violence by effectively reporting rape cases. While reacting to the rising incidence of rape in the society, the Executive Director, WACOL, (Tamar SARC’s parent body), Dr. Joy Ezeilo, said that the organisation’s records revealed that most perpetrators of sexual assault were people close to the victims including their teachers, security men, drivers, house helps or people working around them. “Some of the men who do these things are related to the pupils in their schools. We have seen a case where a teacher defiled several pupils in his school. Please let us watch our girl children and create that confidence in them.[/b]”
Like someone said earlier today, parent should stop their kids from watching romantic soaps, telemondo and co. Check the kind of books/novels your kids are reading. This kind of story happens daily in this country but some people have decided to color this one because of the the tribe/religion of the actors
