Group says people who helped abductor are in Emir’s palace

The Ijaw Youths Council (IYC) has called on the police to prosecute Yunusa, the alleged abductor of Ese Oruru, and other people who helped craft the plan and accommodate her in Kano.

The group claims that Yunusa’s collaborators are still in the Emir of Kano’s palace.

The IYC spokesman, Eric Omare, in a statement said “The IYC, therefore, insist that the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase, must bring those who masterminded the kidnap of Miss Ese Oruru to justice in line with the Anti-kidnapping law of Bayelsa.

“This should include collaborators in the palace of the Emir of Kano.

“This is the only way we can put a stop to such criminal conduct, especially considering the worrying activities of herdsmen in different parts of the country.

“We commend the role of the Nigerian media in rescuing Ese Oruru from the hands of her abductors.”

14 year old Ese Oruru has however denied that she was abducted by Yunusa.

She said she followed him by herself, adding that she does not want to return home.

Ms. Oruru also claimed that she is 17 years, contrary to what the parents had said.

The teenager has however been rescued, and will soon be re-united with her parents.
