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.
“My name is Aisha Chuwas. I am 17-year-old. I came here to be a Muslim and I will stay here.”
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.
