#JusticeForEse: Police Take Yunusa Into Custody Over Allegations of Abduction

 

Calls for the prosecution of Yunusa, the tricycle operator accused of forcefully abducting Ese Oruru and took her to Kano where he converted and married her, may have been heeded after the Force Public Relations Officer, Bisi Kolawole confirmed the man has been taken into custody.

 

Punch reports that Kolawole made the confirmation today at a news briefing held at the force headquarters in Abuja.

 

She also confirmed at the press briefing with Ese’s mother, Mrs. Rose Oruru in attendance that the girl would undergo a comprehensive physical examination.

 

Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase, has ordered that a panel should be set up to find out why Ese’s rescue was delayed for more than five months after the father reported the matter to the police since August last year.
