I dont understand how some people can just voice their warped opinion out all in the name of sounding different. This dude took an underage girl from her parents home to his base. He did not pick her from the streets. Even if they eloped or where lovers and so do what lovers do that Yunusa dude should be responsible for her. Responsibility here means before and after his actions. His actions speaks against him! No matter the premises what is wrong is wrong!! 4 Likes |

How will people not politicize and ethnicize it when you people are openly telling lies and increasing the age of the little girl for silly reasons. If we must have a sane society, Yinusa and the big men behind him must face the law and the consequences of their action. Period!! 2 Likes |

To people like fiizznation...this is love. Very Warped thinking A fresh controversy has broken out in Zaria, Kaduna State, over alleged ‘abduction’ of a ’15- year old’ school girl, Ifeoma Nicodemus. Her teacher father, Nicodemus Odugusi, said she was ‘abducted’ on September 14, 2014, when she was 14 and had since been held against her will for the past 18 months by one Shehu Abdullahi, who runs an Islamic school in the Samaru area of Zaria. But the police denied Ifeoma was abducted, saying her parents were merely twisting the story. Mr. Abdullahi too said he did not abduct or marry Ifeoma, saying he was merely keeping custody of her based on the order of a court. Ifeoma also told PREMIUM TIMES that she was never abducted by anyone, describing Mr. Abdullahi as a father figure to her. Ifeoma is from Ebonyi State in South-East Nigeria, but her parents are resident in Zaria, and at the time of her alleged abduction, was a student of Total Child Bible Secondary School in Samaru, Zaria. Speaking to PREMIUM TIMES on telephone from Zaria, human rights lawyer, Ezekiel Dyagas, said Ifeoma has been held against her will for the past 18 months in the home of Mr. Abdullahi. He said that when the girl was traced to the home of the Islamic teacher by her family, Mr. Abdullahi simply told them he had duly married the 14-year-old after converting her to Islam. But Mr. Abdullahi denied ever making any such remark, saying he was already married and could not have claimed to have taking Ifeoma as wife. In a telephone interview with PREMIUM TIMES, Ifeoma’s father, Mr. Odugusi, said he had been in agony since his daughter was taken away from him. Mr. Nicodemus, a schoolteacher, lamented that the most painful part of it all was “that he knows where his daughter is being kept but is powerless against the forces that are holding her hostage”. Narrating his ordeal, Mr. Odugusi said on September 14, 2014 when his daughter did not return home, he searched everywhere for her. He said the following day, September 15, 2014, he received a call from a school in Zaria informing him that his missing daughter was with them; that she had converted to Islam and was now married to Mr. Abdullahi. The embattled father said for the last 18 months, he had been engaged in a lone fight with Mr. Abdullahi who he said mocked every attempt to free Ifeoma from his captive. Mr. Nicodemus said Ifeoma was in SS2 at the time of her alleged abduction, and that he reported the matter to the Samaru Police Station in Zaria and subsequently got a lawyer to file a case of abduction in court. “I am a schoolteacher, so you can imagine my pains at watching another man truncates your child’s education,” Mr. Nicodemus said. “I have been to the Police; I have been to the Court and all the court said fell on deaf ears as far as Alhaji Shehu Abdullahi is concerned.” The lawyer, Mr. Dyagas, said he suspected conspiracy in Ifeoma’s case, saying he had since found that the proceedings of the case against Mr. Abdullahi was not recorded. But in his reaction, Mr. Abdullahi said it was Ifeoma herself who approached a Sharia court asking to be converted to Islam. He said following her conversion, the court ordered him to keep custody of her after she stubbornly refused to return to her parents. He said the police was called in to persuade her to return to her parents, but she refused especially after her father threatened that she would not be allowed to practice Islam in his home. “We even engage people close to her family to persuade her to return to her parents, but stood her ground. So I pleaded with her parent to be patient while we continue to try to reconcile her with them. “I was the one who called the attention of her parent, and asked them to come and take her home, but she refused to follow them.” The Divisional Police Officer in charge of Samaru, where the case was first reported, said the problem was not with Mr. Abdullahi, but with Ifeoma. “She converted herself to Islam, and then refused to return home,” the DPO, who refused to give his name, said. “We intervened here, the commissioner of police intervened, and three times she ran away from her parents. The court then handed her over to Mallam Shehu and co. for custody. “One day, we brought her to the station, and asked her parents to take her away. She refused. She said she preferred to be detained in our station rather than go home with her parents. We couldn’t keep her in the station because if she disappears, the commissioner of police will hold us responsible. Ifeoma corroborated the police’s version of the matter, insisting that she was not abducted. Her parents said she is 15, but Ifeoma claimed she is almost 19. “I’m married now, not to Mallam Shehu but to someone else,” she said. “My parents are aware, and my sister recently came to my house. I just don’t wan’t to go home because I can’t live with my parent anymore.” She warned a PREMIUM TIMES reporter not to refer to her as Ifeoma anymore. “My name now is Aisha, and that’s what you should call me,” she said |

BigElEddy: You miss the point. The Nigerian law classifies a 14-year old as a minor. Before the law it does not matter whether or not the girl willingly eloped with Yellow or not. Yellow should have known that his actions are against the law. He can claim ignorance of the law but that is not an excuse before the law. In any case the matter is before the court, let the court decide. 1 Like |

There is nothing as disappointing as the actions of our media outlets online and offline on this Yunusa and Ese's case! I believe the young boy has been unfairly treated in this case. He's side of the story was never looked at, even when the sharia courts had faulted his actions based on Islamic teaching, our media houses ignored those aspects and made it look as if Ese was in chains, facts are emerging now that she was treated well while she was with yunusa, I hope the real truth about this case would be revealed sooner than later, and if yellow is found wanting he should face the consequences, and if some of the charges levelled against him is false those behind it shouldn't go unpunished. |

fiizznation: You missed the point by about a mile. It doesn't matter if Ese "eloped" with him. It doesn't matter if they have been lovers and Ese begged him to take her to Kano. A charge of abduction is established when the prosecution proves that the victim is under the age of 16/18 (depending on the section of the criminal code he is charged) at the time she was abducted and her parents or guardian did not give their consent to the accused to take the victim. Here are some sections of the Criminal Code on abduction for your information. 362. Any person who unlawfully takes an unmarried girl under the age of sixteen years out of the custody or protection of her father or mother or other person having the lawful care or charge of her, and against the will of such father or mother or other person, is guilty of a misdemeanour, and is liable to imprisonment for two years. 225. Any person who, with intent that an unmarried girl under the age of eighteen years may be unlawfully carnally known by any man, whether a particular man or not, takes her or causes her to be taken out of the custody or protection of her father or mother, or other person having the lawful care or charge of her, and against the will of such father or mother or other person, is guilty of a misdemeanour, and is liable to imprisonment for two years. |

How do know she WILLINGLY went with 25-year old Yunusa to stop going to school and marry?...and then in Kano marriage was organised for them WITHOUT her PARENTS being informed, talkless giving her out in marriage? Dont you think all the people and institutions that approved and organised that sham of a marriage should be sanctioned? How some people are trying very hard to change the Ese Eruru saga narative is quite baffling. Compare this Ese matter to the ADAM JOHNSON case in UK.

blackpanda: The prosecution doesn't need to prove that he forced her. They only need to prove that she was 13 at the time he took her away and that her parents did not give their consent. Under the law a girl under the age of 18 cannot give consent to either marry or elope with a man. The consent of the parents or lawful guardian must be obtained to take a underage girl from the custody of her parents or legal guardian. Even if the girl claims to have willingly followed the accused, he is still guilty of abduction. 1 Like |

daretodiffer: I agree that the practice of child marriage is common, especially, and sadly so, in the north of Nigeria. I however do not agree that, that is the norm. It is the majority of us that determine what the norm is and as far as I know, this practice is only prevalent in the north, hence, we cannot judge all of us by the reprehensible conduct of some of us. |

Her family did everything including threats with juju, pleaded with the man, called a family meeting with his family. She didn't come back home. You see, it wasn't up to the man. It was up to the girl. She did not want to come back home. There was nothing to show that it was he was responsible for her behaviour.

Forwetinnah:You missed the point here my friend, obviously you are ignorant of the laws of Islam and the way of life of an average northerner. I can cite many cases of christian girls from the south converting to Islam. Now Islam as a religion has already made it absolutely clear that there is no composure in religion. No one will force to you to accept Islam if you don't want to. And at same time no Muslim has any power to reject somebody that wants to identity himself/herself with Islam. If you were very conversant with the north and Islam per say, you would have observed that many young Christian girls and boys convert to Muslims in their hundreds during Ramadan period. Some of these conversions are sometimes carried on local TVs's tabsir. You see in this scenario, nobody usually forced anybody to convert to Islam but people willingly choose to become Muslims. Islam believes that once a child has reach his/her puberty age, then that child is no longer just a kid. I feel sad as people misunderstood my stand here, I didn't say yunusa is right neither did I vilify yunusa here. All I'm saying here is; the true picture of this saga should be told to the public. And i think we may likely get to the root of the true story with bukarti's involvement. Yunusa might be innocent or guilty at the end of day, but people shouldn't have brought politics, religion and tribalism in the first place. The tenets of islam and sharia law are entirely different from our Nigeria laws, and at the end of the day interpretation of these two laws might clash when the time to give the final verdict comes. Don't forget, Yunusa's only crime in bayelsa was ese's "abduction". I won't like to say anything again because you will never understand me |
