Thank to Punch newspaper for the #FreeEse campaign, lots of update happened within 24 hours, the minor had been rescued from Kano State on Monday where she had been taken to by her paedophile captor, Yinusa, aka Yellow for eight months.
Members of the House of Representatives on Tuesday demanded the immediate prosecution of the abductors of 14-year-old Ese Oruru and her subsequent forcible marriage and conversion to Islam.
The lawmakers asked the Federal Government to bring the “full weight of the law” on the perpetrators of the act to serve as a deterrent to others who might be planning such acts in the future.
The Muslim Rights Concern has called for the arrest of one Yinusa, who abducted Ese Oruru to Kano State.
The group, in a statement on Tuesday by its Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, commended the role of the Emir of Kano, Muhammed Sanusi in the Ese Oruru affair.
The mother of 14-year-old Ese, Mrs. Rose Oruru, has left Bayelsa for Abuja where she is expected to be reunited with her daughter, according to a top police source in the state.
Ese is also en route to Abuja from Kano for the reunion with her family.
Family sources also confirmed that Rose was being taken by the police to meet her daughter, but could not provide details about the trip.
The 14-year-old’s father, Charles, told our correspondent that he was not making the trip, but that he was eager to see his daughter again.
Ese’s siblings were equally ecstatic about her release.
One of them, Faith, who will be 19 next week, could not hide her childlike joy as she spoke to a correspondent.
According to Ese’s immediate elder brother, 16-year-old Onome, they are planning to welcome her in a big way with some cooking when they have confirmed their arrival.
Patricia, the eldest, in her 20s, said she was keeping her emotions in check for now because of previous unfulfilled promises about Ese’s release.
