Miss Oruru was abducted on August 12, 2015 at her mother’s shop in Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa state by Yunusa Dahiru, 55, and taken to Kano, where she was allegedly raped, forcibly converted into Islam and married off without her parents’ consent.
She was however rescued by the police on February 29, 2016 and gave birth to a baby girl on May 26th 2016.
Dahiru was later charged with child trafficking, child abuse, rape, kidnap, infringement on the right to religion, and holding a person against her will.
He pleaded not guilty to all the charges.
Justice Jane Inyang of Federal High Court, Yenogoa, Bayelsa state while delivering her judgement on Thursday, May 21st, found the accused guilty of child trafficking, illicit s#x, s#xual exploitation and unlawful carnal knowledge.
He was jailed five years in count two which bothered on child trafficking, seven years in count three – illicit s#x, seven years in count four s#xual exploitation and seven years in count in count five – unlawful carnal knowledge.
The judge stated that the sentences would run consecutively, which means the convict will spend a maximum of 26 years in jail unless he gets his conviction overturned by the appellate court.

*I can never forget this story and how imagining a 13 years old girl would fair with being pregnant and the labour...He better not get his conviction overturned by any court...Justice has been served!
Good news.
ReplyDeleteGood
DeleteWhen a woman is rhe judge in such cases,you get the real justice. Thank you ma for a good job.
DeleteGood news. I remembered this story very well. Justice has been served.
DeleteFinally, this is great news. I remember this story like it was yesterday.
DeleteThis case
ReplyDeleteFucking paedophile!!!! Rot in jail
ReplyDeleteServes him right.
ReplyDeleteGood judgement.
ReplyDeleteI remember this story just like yesterday. Her parents sure did failed her.
ReplyDeleteBut, I'm very happy that this peadophile is going to jail.
Justice delayed is not justice denied after all.
How did her parents fail her?
DeleteSomeone was kidnapped.
Ms A, you have come again with judging parents wrongfully.
DeleteAnonymous and Eka Joy, both of you did not know the history of the story!
DeleteGo back to 2015.
Eka Joy, who is judging parents wrongfully?
Abeg, I know right from wrong.
Simple question : How did her parents fail her?
DeleteMaybe there is another side to this story that we don't know.
I remember that her parents were instrumental to raising public awareness on this issue. Prior to raising awareness, they did so much. They travelled to Kano, met religious leaders, even tried to see the Emir but all proved abortive. So if you know another side to this story, kindly educate us.
Anonymous 7:27, that awareness was raised after how many days and after she was taken "forcefully" or lured by the Psycho from Bayelsa to Kano.
DeleteBefore that, this peadophile was a frequent customer in Ese's mother's buka. This girl was always playing inappropriately with this Psycho and her mother was in the know. People that lives in that community were interviewed, they knew the guy and according to many of them, Ese Even visited this guy at home and her mother was aware.
I am not ignorant about how some buka works in Nigeria, some mothers using their teenage children to attract men. (I know many Nigerians don't like the raw truth, but, it must be told) you don't use your teenage children as a bargain for customers. Her mother left her on that faithful day, in the buka alone, and do you know what time it was?
We must learn to protect our children with everything in us from evil people roaming around the town.
Parents should stop putting their kids in harms way.
Oh God! Chase evil people away from us. This young girl was busy assisting her mom in the shop when this evil man abducted and put her in family way at 13.
ReplyDeleteThis evil Yunusa will soon be released from prison but this girl's life might not remain the same.
May God help Ese.
Yeah I remember this story like yesterday. It was such a shock. I hope this serves as a deterrent to other idiots. How can you kidnap someone's child and force your religion on her. Our judicial system needs some serious reforms though. How can a case be in court since 2016? Thank God they even followed through with this one. I have completely forgotten about this case.
ReplyDeleteI remember this story,chai🙆🙆🙆
ReplyDeleteThe man is wicked,small girl for that matter
Thank God is in jail now, he should serve is term..
Hahahaha justice served. Let those who have been abducting Christian girls in the north and marrying them off without their parents consent know that their day is coming. Its not going to be business as usual. We know your plans. We know why you are doing what you are doing.
ReplyDeleteI remember this story, thank heavens that justice has been served see his wicked face
ReplyDeleteYeah... I remember this case. Thank God justice has finally been served.
ReplyDeleteSo this matter was still ongoing? Very good judgment
ReplyDeleteUseless Keke driver. I pray you see hot Cameroon pepper in that jail. Idiot.
ReplyDeleteI remember this story like yesterday, serves him right.father give us the Grace not to fail our children in the course of their up bringing.
ReplyDeleteI still remember this story
ReplyDeleteThank God for the sentence of this wicked man.
I remember this story!
ReplyDeleteJustice at last!!!💃🏻
I pray she finds healing❤️
I do not understand why there is so much delay in the judiciary. This case is not even supposed to be more than 6 months in courts. Thank God that Justice was finally Served.
ReplyDeleteJustice has been served. Thank God.

ReplyDeleteThe sentence reads consecutively not concurrently
DeleteCalm down, now inhale and exhale. Sisi, the judgement says CONSECUTIVELY not CONCURRENTLY. I understand that you are upset and disgusted like we all but e ma fara bale sometimes
DeleteThank God!
ReplyDeleteLet him rot in jail.. Demonic pedophile.
God bless the lawyers and everyone that stood with her.
Hmm,this story was hot then,thank God justice has been served.E sweet me die
ReplyDeleteVery wicked man. He thought everyone is from the north. What am I even saying? Even among the northerners, it's the parents who give out the daughter. They don't kidnap the girl unless na Boko Haram. I hope they don't overturn the judgement
ReplyDeleteChai, his fate was sealed when they handed the case over to a justice "Jane". 😊😊
ReplyDeleteHad it been a Justice "Philips," we for hear Pally Pally judgment.
Serves all the restless amu well. Please we need more justice Janes in Nigeria.
Please give all the sexual assault cases to Justice "Janes, Agnes and Calistas"

ReplyDeleteLovely news..
ReplyDeleteServes him right.
It is a lie ooo...he is to serve 7 years as the judge said the sentences will run concurrently NOT CONSECUTIVELY... It isn't a fair judgement...God punish Justice Jane Inyang, 7 yrs is no justice...I hope the girl's parents appeal that judgement.
ReplyDeleteI heard he will be serving just 7years..he should be jail for life
