Dahiru Yellow Regains Freedom After Serving Jail Term For Kidnapping And Forcefully Marrying Ese Oruru

 Yunusa Dahiru also known as Yellow, a convicted child trafficker has regained his freedom.

The Kano indigene was initially slammed a 26-year jail term at the Nigerian Correctional Service facility for child trafficking and sexual exploitation of Ese Oruru, a young girl but his appeal against the judgement had the sentence reduced to 7 years.

Yellow on Saturday regained his freedom to cheers from his associates.

The Kano Command of the Nigerian Correctional Service, through its spokesman, DSC Musbahu Lawan Kofar-Naisa confirmed the release of Yellow to newsmen on Saturday.

It would be recalled that young Ese Oruru was abducted by Dahiru in Bayelsa in 2015, and taken to Kano State where he forcefully married and impregnated her.

A Federal High Court sitting in Bayelsa State sentenced Dahiru to 26 years imprisonment but a Port Harcourt Division of the Court of Appeal reduced the sentence to 7 years after an appeal by Yellow.

In the words of DSC Kofar-Naisa:

 “We are happy that during Yellow’s stay in the correctional facility down from when he was in Bayelsa until when he was transferred here in Kano, he has behaved well.

“He has also enrolled in secondary education in the correctional facility,” DSC Kofar-Naisa stated.
