Presidency reacts to court judgment jailing abductor of Ese Oruru for 26 years
ShareTweetShareShare

New Media aide to President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the action of Dahiru Yunusa who eloped with a 13-year-old girl in 2015 and has been sentenced to 26 years jail term by a federal high court in Bayelsa state on Thursday.

Bashir Ahmad, personal assistant on new media to the president, said he had earlier commented on the Yunusa Yellow saga but he later understood the details and gravity of the offence of the young man, hence he changed his mind.

Hence, he twitted on Friday night that eloping or rather kidnapping a minor and forcing her to marry the abductor is a great offence and should not be taken lightly. He described as a condemnable act.

His tweet reads: “I commented on the Yunusa Yellow saga earlier, without knowing and understanding the details of the case. Eloping or rather, kidnapping a minor and forcing her to marry you shouldn’t be taken lightly. A condemnable act!”

His reaction followed the arrest and final judgment banishing him to prison for the next 26 years by a the federal high court in Yenagoa, Bayelsa state capital.

Miss Ese Oruru, who was brought back to Yenagoa after the controversy has since, however, given birth to a baby girl belonging to Yinusa, his abductor.

Yunusa, popularly known as Yellow, was subsequently arrested and arraigned at the Federal High Court sitting in Yenagoa and on a five-count charge of criminal abduction, illicit sex, sexual exploitation and unlawful carnal knowledge of a minor.

The judgment was delivered by Justice Jane Inyang and Yunusa was sentenced to five years for count 2, seven yean years for count 3, 4, 5

Yunusa, who appeared in court in handcuffs in a green and white shirt and bathroom slippers, broke down in court after the sentencing, and murmured that he was “treated this way because he is a Muslim”.

    Why are you rushing to bring a news to the public when you can’t read and write? I thought news are meant to be scrutinized and edited before publishing , but what do I know? Abeg edit you writeups before you dish them out. Whe you are talking of (New Media ) it is called News Media . Try to check through what you wrote before publishing. Why rushing and bringing rubbish out.

    It’s funny for Yinusa to say that he was sentenced to jail because he is a Muslim. This is a competent Court of the land. The issue is whether he committed the offence or not. He should just serve his jail term and stop making reckless statements. It should be a good lesson for people of his type.

    Really funny to say that you were sentenced to jail because you are a Muslim. It’s a competent Court of the land that jailed you. You committed the offence so why the reckless statements? Serve your jail term and let others of your type learn from it

      You’re thinking this way because this kind of situation must be a normal occurrence in the north. Pls don’t mistake the North for the South. I even thought the sentence was mild

    Yunusa Yellow is not an abductor, it was the girl and Yunusa yellow fall in blinded love,… The girl will keep in sorrows, sad and worry about her lover yellow because some reason of tribalisms, religion differences and regional as well. Yunusa didn’t kidnapped or abducted the girl, because if he is a Christian or southerner that issues is normal life among the southerners and countless number of Christians. Further more, if he is a Christian or southerner did that kind of southern love pattern to Muslim northerner girl, I’m very assured that nothing will be happened or hear in the Court, because he will be backed and protected as well as claimed that the girl has right to choose her choice in terms love and religion view. So I call on Yunusa to appeal and look for support from Almighty God eject you from that evil trap of the southerners/Christians against you. and I pray for you to be released and join with your lovely lover and Daughter, because your lovely lover is loving you to the extremely core.

    He should not attribute his punishment to his believe. He is punished because of his criminal act. Kidnapping, rape, forceful sexual exploitation of a minor are very grave offences. Kudos to Federal High Court, Yenagoa. Kudos to Justice Jane Inyang.

    Sincerely speaking 26 years are too much for him, he supposed to be punished according to law not self interest
