According to Premium Times, Ese Oruru, who was allegedly kidnapped
from Bayelsa State to Kano, said she was not interested in reuniting with her
family and denied reports that she was abducted from her home in Bayelsa State.
In an exclusive audio recording obtained by the online publication today, the
girl also said she eloped with her lover to Kano in order to convert to Islam.
Human rights lawyer, Huwaila Mohammed, who was given access
to the girl at the Zonal Police Headquarters in Kano, said upon interrogation,
she understood the girl was never forced to convert to Islam. She also had
access to Miss Oruru’s lover and established that he is just 18 years old, 'not
anywhere above 20'.
“I was surprised when I saw a very small boy. He is just
18-year old. I was enraged thinking that it was an old man involved in the
saga. From the way I see it, they eloped not because of religion but love,” she
said.
