13yr old Urhobo Girl allegedly
kidnapped, forcely converted and married
off by Hausa Muslim Lover in Bayelsa
A Hausa Muslim man identified as Yunusa from Kano state, has
been accused of kidnapping and forcefully converting and
marrying off 13 year old Urhobo girl, Ese Rita Orur pictured
above.
According to The Sun, Yinusa who resides in Opolo, Yenagoa,
had abducted Ese on August 12th 2015 and eloped with her to
Kano and has refused to allow her return home.
Rita's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Oruru, had made several visits to
Kano to secure the release of their daughter but have been
unsuccessful as Yinusa’s kinsmen insisted that Ese, who they now
refer to as ‘Aisha’, belongs to them and that they are ready to
pay the necessary bride price.
The Orurus reported the matter to the Police and the
Department of State Security (DSS) and their promise to bring
home Ese has remained unfulfilled forcing the parents to take the
issue to youth and civil society groups.
At a press conference addressed by Kizito Andah of the Child
Protection Network today February 18th, the civil society and
youth groups in Bayelsa say they are ready to stage a protest
and press home the demand for the release of Ese from the
custody of her abductors.
That also lamented the inability of both the Nigeria Police and the
DSS to secure the release of Ese. They warned against an
ethno-religious crisis which the abduction and forceful
conversion into Islam could trigger in Bayelsa state. Andah who
addresed the press, said CPN was demanding that Nigerians
prevail on all relevant authorities to ensure that Ese is released
and her abductors are punished in line with the laws of the land.
