CSW
A minor, who was abducted from her home state in southern Nigeria and transported to a northern state seven months ago, was reunited with her mother on 2 March at a police station in the capital city Abuja.
14-year-old Ese Rita Oruru from Opolo in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, was abducted on 12 August 2015 by Yunusa Dahiru, a regular customer at her mother’s food store. Dahiru is reported to have transported Ese, then aged 13, over 800 miles north to Kano State, where she was obliged to change her religion and name, and was ‘married’.
