Indications emerged on Wednesday that the 14 year old
Ese Oruru who was abducted by Yunusa Dahiru last
August and taken to Kano might be carrying a 5 month
pregnancy.
A source at the Force Medical unit, where Ese was made
to undergo check up, told THISDAY that the teenager was
discovered to be five months pregnant.
The source said obviously, she was already pregnant
before agreeing to move to Kano with Yunusa, but quickly
added that the girl is not in the best form medically.
It was also discovered that the white Hijab dress she
wore on her arrival from Kano on Tuesday, was used to
cover the pregnancy even though her physical condition
and looks created a suspicion.
Inspector General of Police, IG, Solomon Arase had issued
a directive that she should be handed over to the Gender
and Child Protection Unit and later, a team from the
Medical Department of the Force to carry out a
comprehensive medical examination of the girl-child at
the Police Medical Facility in Area 1, Garki, to certify her
medical status and emotional state.
When contacted, the Force Spokesperson, Olabisi
Kolawole, Assistant Commissioner of Police, said she
could not confirm the report, claiming that she is not a
medical officer.
When asked further, as a mother, if she noticed any sign
of pregnancy in the girl-child, Kolawole said she only saw
her for the first time when she was brought to the Force
Headquarters, Abuja and could not state if Ese had a new
look or not.
Meanwhile, the IG has directed the Bayelsa State Police
Command to take over investigation in the child
abduction saga because the offense was committed in
Bayelsa which is the place of residence of the abductor,
Yunusa Dahiru.
Yunusa will be moved to Yenegoa to face interrogation
and prosecution for kidnapping and child abuse as well as
violence against a girl-child.
Arase also paid for the flight of both mother and daughter
back to Yenagoa via Port Harcourt, Rivers State
