#FreeYunusaYellow: SAN, 4 Lawyers File For Yunusa Yellow's Bail by JumiR: 6:38am On Mar 11, 2016 |
By JUMI RHODES Yunusa Dahiru, aka Yunusa Yellow, the suspected abductor of a Bayelsa teenager, Ese Oruru, was on Tuesday arraigned at a Federal High Court in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, Yunusa Yellow is being charged for abduction, coercion, seduction into illicit intercourse, sexual exploitation and unlawful carnal knowledge of Miss Oruru. In another development, a campaign themed #FreeYellowNow has begun online and popular in Kano, advocating for the release of the suspected abductor. One of those championing Yunusa's case is a lecturer at the Bayero University Kano, Dr. Audu Bukarti, a lawyer who is expected to represent the suspected abductor next Monday in Yenagoa. Speaking on #FreeYellowNow, Bukarti said, "Many thought Yunusa was not represented by lawyers when he was arraigned yesterday. The truth is that he was represented by the 4 lawyers we have hired for him in Bayelsa. We asked them to represent him because we knew the only thing that would be done yesterday was to read the charges and take his plea. "Yunusa has denied all the 5 charges framed against him. If Yunusa went to court alone, perhaps, he would have pleaded guilty because he might not understand the meaning and implication of what was read to him. But he was properly guided because there were lawyers with him. We have filed an application for the bail of Yunusa. The application has yet been taken. The matter has been adjourned to Monday, the 14/3/16 for hearing even though our contacts say hearing may not commence on that day. I and other lawyers are planning to be in court on Monday even though we are yet to finalise our plans. We may not be in court on Monday if hearing will not commence on that day. This is because the matter may just be called and adjourned on that day and our 4 lawyers can do that for us. The SAN who will lead us will be in court when hearing commences. They have shamelessly dropped forceful marriage and forceful conversion to Islam. This shows we are succeeding. We will keep you posted." http://dawntodusknews.com/san-4-lawyers-file-application-for-yunusa-yellows-bail-as-freeyunusayellow-campaign-begins/ 2 Likes 1 Share

Anyone can mount any campaign after all he is assumed innocent until proven guilty But I believe the truth will prevail and he would pay his dues for crimes committed 51 Likes 4 Shares |

free the rapist? Lawyers are lawyers but the real truth is that the man cannot avoid justice, his he subject to the southern laws or sharia laws? After trying him in the south i advise the sharia court should still try him and lash senses out of his head but it will be double jeopardy ... 46 Likes 2 Shares |

Yunusa is innocent of the allegations he has been accused of, and this will always be my stand. Just because yunusa doesn't have access or money to a good lawyer doesn't mean he should be treated with disrespect. A girl of 14yrs WILLINGLY eloped with her lover from bayelsa to kano, and all of a sudden everybody is calling for yunusa's head. It is today in Nigeria that girls of different ages elope with random men to whatever destination? I urge kano elites to get a very good lawyer for yunusa who will battle it out in court with ese's lawyer, her parents and the government of bayelsa state. Ese's parents especially the mother are very wayward. They failed to train their daughter and instead they are looking for young yunusa to blame for their failure. Anybody that heard the narrative of ese's mother will definitely know the woman is hiding the true picture of her daughter's story. I just saw Audu bukarti's( i happen to know the good man personally) name as one of yunusa's representative in court. Fortunately the man is highly intelligent and I trust what he can do. After all is said and done, I will urge bukarti to file a defamatory case against ese's parents because they have already defamed yunusa's character. 67 Likes 8 Shares |

This is baseless and an insult to every child rights campaigner and well meaning Nigerians. What do they hope to achieve with the campaign!? Intimidate the court into freeing him? Why didn't they start the campaign for Ese's release when she was in captivity? Actions like this is the reason why most people accused the north of supporting Yellow's actions in the first place. 87 Likes 6 Shares |

Yes na! He is a Northerner, and he is a Muslim. They own this Country. If you're not okay with that, go and form your own country. Some people were fed up living with them many years ago, and they decided to leave.

zicoraads:Look young man, I don't like folks who throw insults at any random cognomen on faceless fora. You would have still pass your own opinion without name callings. That been said. No court of any jurisdiction have found yunusa guilty of the baseless accusations he was been accused of. What I and everybody have been reading online and offline is how yunusa the Muslim boy from the north "kidnapped/abducted" the innocent young christian bayelsa girl called ese from the south. Then I asked you, if this is not disrespect to yunusa's person then what is it? Yunusa has outrightly said he never abducted ESE rather she was the one that willingly followed him to kano. The girl is 14 as you all want everybody to believe. Then why are you not calling for the heads of ese's parents who failed to tell their 14yrs old child that it is very wrong to elope with boys to wherever? Look young man, nobody is a fool and nobody believed the facade that ese's mother told journalists. Like I outrightly said. If you guys think nobody will stand up and speak/fight for yunusa, then you guys must be joking 51 Likes 4 Shares |

Like a great man once quipped "... the problem of Nigeria is the problem of leadership" Now I realize how correct he was. A new trend has developed -female abduction. And the president has done NOTHING whatsoever to indicate his disapproval. My God! Did someone not say 'even silence is consent'?! What have we got ourselves into? Do we not realize the slow engulfment of Sharia and Islamic law over Nigeria? A lecturer taking up the defense of someone who was clearly defined as an abductor? All I can say is: My God, what have we done?! 24 Likes 2 Shares |

fiizznation: I like the points you made,and I think that there is more to the story. Having said that, the laws of this country tend to look unfavourably on the ''defilement of minors''.Ese may have eloped with Yunusa.....but that does not mean that they should be having relations.....especially since Yunusa is clearly above 18 years. I don't buy into the ''Northerners abducting Southern girls'' conspiracy......but that does not make Ese getting pregnant for her lover right. 31 Likes 1 Share |

Well, everybody deserve to have an opinion. All of you cursing Nigeria because of this are just very ignorant. An average American that is even unemployed will always say "God bless America" no matter what. But a very comfortable Nigeria will be saying "yeye country", "nonsense country", etc Didn't Ted Bundy and all those serial killers in America had awyers and supporters? You people are Nigerias real problem and not politiciians And yet you folks are the most religious morons who keep talking about how powerful the tongue is. With the number of courses and bad wishes Nigeria recieves a day from Nigerians, it is easy to know why most things are going wrong. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

Istand4justice: Well, the laws of this country are based on two principles from English common law... 1)Innocent until proven guilty. 2)Right to legal representation. The late Gani Fawhennimi once represented a politician accused of corruption in the court.He may have not agreed with the politician....but that does not mean that the politician lost his right to be represented by a lawyer of his choice. And who knows. The SAN is probably taking the case pro bono. 2 Likes |
