The Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase, has therefore queried the AIG, Zone 1, Kano, Shuaibu Gambo, and the Commissioners of Police in charge of Bayelsa and Kano states over the shoddy handling of Ese Oruru’s abduction and her forceful conversion to Islam.
The senior officers were accused of not giving the case the attention it deserved and for allowing it to drag on for over six months before it came to the notive of IGP Arase.
The IG, it was learnt, was embarrassed by the lack of professionalism exhibited by the three senior officers “who failed to carry out a thorough investigation into the incident within a short time.”
The source said, “The IG has directed that the AIG and the two CPs in Bayelsa and Kano should be queried for failing to handle Ese’s case with the professionalism expected of senior officers like them and failure to notify the Force headquarters about the challenges they were facing.”
Arase was particularly annoyed by the conduct of the AIG and his lackadaisical approach to the case.
“Emir Lamido Sanusi’s explanation indicated that the AIG was to blame for the shoddy handling of the case; the IG was totally disappointed in Gambo and his role in the abduction saga,” said a source.
“I can tell you that all those responsible for this embarrassment will not go scot-free. Definitely, heads will roll,” the source added.
Yunusa faces s*x crime charges in Bayelsa
It was learnt that Ese’s abductor, Yunusa Dahiru, who faces kidnapping charges, among others, would be prosecuted in Bayelsa State, where the crime took place, while the Kano Sharia Council members would also be arrested for their roles in the teenager’s forceful conversion to Islam.
IGP Arase had come under fire for the failure of the police to rescue Ese who was abducted from her home in Bayelsa, converted to Islam and married by Yunusa, who took her to Kano, where he along with the Kano Sharia Council members prevented Ese’s mother from having access to her.
It was learnt that police may prefer s*xual abuse and defilement charges against Ese Oruru’s abductor.
According to Punch, a prima facie case had already been established against Yunusa.
A source said the report of a preliminary investigation submitted to the IG indicated that Yunusa had carnal knowledge of Ese.
“The legal department of the police has started compiling criminal charges against Yunusa, based on the prima facie case that had been established against him. If the charges are proven against him in court, I see him spending a long time behind bars,” the source stated.
Jubilation as Ese arrives Bayelsa
Ese and her mother arrived Bayelsa a few minutes to 9pm on Wednesday. At her family house, relatives and neighbours who had been waiting burst into songs on sighting the mother.
It was learnt that Ese was with the CP of the state. She is expected to meet with Governor Seriake Dickson today (Thursday), before going home.
