SCANDALOUS: Emir Of Buhari's Home State, Katsina Abducts, Marries 14yrs Old Christian Minor

SCANDALOUS: Emir Of Buhari's Home State, Katsina Abducts, Marries 14yrs Old Christian Minor

Emir Of Buhari's Home State, Katsina Abducts, Marries 14yrs Old Christian Minor
Another Emir is now involved in the scandal of abduction of a teenager against the consent of her parents’ and forceful conversion to Islam.

This time around, the Emir of Katsina, Abdulmumini Usman, is at the center of the whole saga as he has been accused of marrying off, 14-year-old Habiba Isiyaku to the man who kidnapped her.

President Muhammadu Buhari is from Katsina state.


The 14-year-old who according to her father, Mr Isiyaku Tanko was kidnapped from school, Government Senior Secondary School, Kudun Kankara, Kastina state by one Jamilu Lawal, has been forcefully converted to Islam and married off by the Emir without her parents’ consent.

Speaking to journalists in Abuja, the father of Habiba, Mr IsiyakuTanko who spoke through his lawyer, Barr Yakubu Bawa decried the manner which the Emir’sPalace manhandled him in his attempt to secure his daughter.

Mr. Tanko, who was made to present his case by the Stefanos Foundation at a press conference in Abuja, stated that Jamilu had not only admitted to abducting his daughter but also revealed that she is presently being kept at the Palace of the Emir of Katsina. He added that the Emir had informed him that his daughter had been converted to Islam and he had received the sum of N50, 000.00 as dowry from Jamilu Ibrahim, he also said the Emir had informed him that he will marry Habiba off to Jamilu in accordance with Islamic rites and injunctions.

According to him, “My little girl was abducted on the 16th of August 2016 from her school. After my investigations, I discovered that Jamilu Lawal who lives in the same community was responsible for my daughters’ disappearance.

“I requested that a formal complaint about the incident be lodged to the Commissioner of Police in Kastina, Jamilu and his parents were summoned to the police station and he not only admitted to abducting my daughter Habiba but also revealed that she was presently being kept at the Palace of the Emir of Kastina.

“On arrival at the Palace, the Emir informed me that my daughter has been converted from Christianity to Islam henceforth, there is no longer any relationship between me and my daughter and we can no longer inherit each other.

“He further informed me that he has received the sum if N50, 000.00 as dowry from Jamilu Ibrahim for my daughter therefore, he will give her out in marriage in accordance with Islamic rites and injunctions.

He accused me of defaming him at the Police Station and I was threatened, intimidated and coerced to sign an apology drafted on my behalf in his Palace. “As at today, I am aware that the Emir of Kastina has gone ahead to marry out my little girl without my consent, having received a dowry he is not entitled to receive, it fills me with so much pain and grief to realize that my daughter, who will turn 15 this Saturday the 15th may be celebrating her birthday in a forced marriage.

“I appeal to all well-meaning Nigerians and those in authority to help join hands to see that my daughter is released to me though the violations already done to her person may be irreversible. I further appeal that the Incident be well investigated and diligently prosecuted.” Programme Coordinator for Stafanos Foundation, Mark Lipdo, a Non-Governmental Organization assisting the parents with the release of Habiba stated. “We have been trying to intervene in the conflicts going on in Nigeria, we believe in the human rights of all citizens and encourage that fundamental rights be upheld at all times to maintain a sane society.

“Many times we call on the appropriate authorities to act like in the case of Habiba Isiyaku; such incidents can make conflicts continue in Nigeria.

“Habiba is a girl that just completed her Junior Secondary school and had very good grades, she had so much prospects only to be abducted, when her parents were invited to the Emirs palace she was brought out in a hijab and he told them that they no longer have any relationship with the girl anymore because she has been converted to Islam and that he the Emir of Katsina has now become the father of the girl and he can do whatever he wants with her.

“After a few days that the father was sent back, we followed with the Commissioner of Police to try to get the girl, we took a lawyer with us as Stefanos Foundation to stand with the parents to demand for their rights but the rights where denied, we petitioned the Inspector General (IG) of Police here in Abuja to see if he can secure the girls release but till date, he is yet to respond, we brought the parents to Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) for help, to see if they can help secure her release and they said that they will be following the matter up with the IG, but up till today, nothing, we have been in this town for three days now we have not heard anything from CAN and the IG.

“The girl is a minor and things like this have to stop happening in this country because if it continues, people are going to result to self-help because where a person has been told his right but he it has been deliberately refused it, if the person has any strength, he will result to self-help.”

There were several cases such as that of 14-year-old Habiba Isiyaku, one very prominent case was that of Ese Oruru who was kidnapped in August 2015 by one Yunusa Dahiru, also known as Yellow, and taken to Kano where she was also supposedly married off with the questionable tole played by the Emir of Kano.

Oruru’s alleged abductor was a customer of the girl’s mother who is a food seller in Bayelsa.

The girl, however, denied claims that she was abducted and says she converted to Islam of her own free will. Ese Oruru, who has been allegedly kidnapped, has finally returned to her home in Bayelsa state on March 2.

In company of her mother, Mrs Rose Ese Oruru and some police officers from Abuja, the girl was taken to the Officers’ Mess and went into a secret meeting with the police commissioner in Yenagoa.

The Sun: You dey sleep together for here in Yenagoa or na Kano?
Yunusa: We dey do am here. The mother know.
Earlier, police slammed a five-count charge against Yunusa at the Federal High Court, Yenagoa for Ese’s abduction.
Yunusa, who was arraigned amidst tight security, was charged alongside one Dankano Mohammed and Mallam Alhassan, both at large, in charge No: FHC/YNG/17C/2016.

The charge reads: That you, Yunusa Dahiru ‘m’, of Opolo- Epie, with Dankano Mohammed ‘m’, Mallam Alhassan ‘m’ presently at large, between the months of August 2015 and February 2016, at Opolo- Epie Yenagoa, in the Yenagoa Judicial Division of the Federal High Court, did conspire among yourselves to commit an offence to wit: Abduction and, thereby, committed an offence punishable under sections 27(a) of the Trafficking in persons (prohibition) Enforcement and Administration Act 2015

Prosecution counsel, Kenneth Dika and James Anata told the court that they had lined up six witnesses to testify against Yunusa. He also told the court that they have agreed with the defence counsel, Kayode Olaosebikan, for accelerated hearing on March 14.
Justice Nganjiwa adjourned the case to March 14 for hearing and for the defence to move the bail application. He ordered the accused to be remanded in police custody.
Olaosebikan, in an interview, said the onus is on the prosecution to prove that Yunusa abducted Ese to Kano.
According to him, Yunusa has pleaded not guilty because he knows he is innocent of all the charges against him.
Olaosebikan who insisted that the case was that of two lovebirds who decided to elope to Kano stated that the defence is ready for the trial to prove Yunusa’s innocence.

How did you meet Yinusa?
Ese: We sell food in Bayelsa; so they, Yellow and his other people, used to come and buy food from us.

What does Yinusa do in Bayelsa?
Ese: He came to Bayelsa to look for money.

People say Inuwa is your boyfriend. Is this true?

Ese: No, he is not my boyfriend. Like I told you, we sell food in Bayelsa, and so, he used to come and buy food from us. He is not the only one; they are many and I used to play with all of them like my own brothers because they buy food from us. I sell food to them just like that.

Can you remember the day he took you from Bayelsa to Kano? How did it happen?

Ese: I don’t know.

Did he tell you that you were traveling to Kano?

Ese: No. We didn’t go with his Keke (tricycle). His keke, is at home.

Did he come to the house to carry you?
Ese: No.

So, how did you travel to Kano?
Ese: I just followed him. I don’t know how I followed him.

People believe that you decided to run away with him because you love him and want to marry him at all cost.
Ese: I know that we used to play with all of them, our customers that come to buy food from our shop.

There is nobody that is different. I sell food to all of them and I laugh with all of them.

So, how did you know you were in Kano since you didn’t know how you got there?

Ese: I saw that the place was different and the people there are people that I didn’t know. So, I knew it was his place because I did not know anybody there, but only him. We went to their house first.


So, what did you do?
Ese: I did not do anything.

What did you tell him?
Ese: I did not tell him anything.

So, you just started staying with him like that?

Ese: We travelled to Kura the next day with one man like that. He is the chief of the town. When we got there, they took me to one place and there they gave me hijab; they put it on me. And after that, they took me to one house in Kura. And from there on Monday, in the morning, we went back to the Emir’s Palace in Kano; then in the afternoon, we travelled back to Kura, to stay in the house.

What did you all go to do at the Emir’s Palace?

Ese: At the Emir’s Palace, they were asking him questions. They did not talk to me. They did not ask me anything, but they were asking him. Then they were speaking in Hausa language and I did not understand the language very well that time; so I didn’t understand what they were saying.

Was it at the Emir’s Palace that you first saw your mother?

Ese: Yes. I saw her, but I was not able to talk to her. I was just looking at her and she was crying. I just looked at her. I did not know her and I did not talk to her.

Did you recognise her as your mother?
Ese: I don’t know. I looked at her and she was crying.

But when you saw her on Tuesday at the Police Force Headquarters in Abuja, did you recognise her as your mother?

Ese: Yes.

While you were away in Kano, they said you got married. Is this true?

Ese: No.

Was there any marriage ceremony?

Ese: No, I did not get married to anybody.

But did they convert you to a Muslim?

Ese: Yes.
How did that happen?

Ese: They took me to one place. Before they took me from the house to Kura, they put me in hijab, then we went to Kura.

When we got there, they went to one place, and one old man came there and he would say something and they would say I should repeat. Then I would repeat. If the man said something again, they would say I should repeat and I would repeat just like that.

So, that was how you got converted?

Ese: Yes.

There is also this rumour that it was one old man that actually married you and not Inuwa. Is this true?

Ese: I did not get married to anybody.
While you were there in Kano, did you ever fall sick?

Ese: I don’t know.

What kind of medical attention did you get? Did they give you any injection?
Ese: No, I don’t know. But they did not give me because I don’t like taking injections and I will not take injection when I am sick. It was only when they arrested me on Monday in Kano that they took me to the hospital. And when we got here in Abuja, they took me to the hospital again yesterday, Tuesday. Those are the only two occasions that I have gone to the hospital.

Did they give you any medicine?
Ese: Medicine? I don’t know. But if they put it in water or food… They used to give me something, but I don’t know if it is water they used to prepare it. But if I am not well, they would buy medicine for me and I would take. But it was not those types of native medicine. It was from the pharmacy.
Are you happy reuniting with your family?
Ese: Yes, I am happy to go back to my family.

How do you feel now?

Ese: I don’t know how I feel, but I just look calm. I don’t know what to do.

Do you regret what has happened to you?

Ese: Yes.

How?

Ese: I don’t know, but I have caused my mother a lot of trouble and put her into problem.

If you see Yinusa now, what would you tell him?

Ese:I tell you I’m confused. I don’t know what to do (then she started crying).
What were you doing when you were in Kano?

Ese: Nothing.

You mean you just stayed in the house from morning till night?

Ese: Yes. I did not do anything.
I can see that you now speak Hausa language very well.

Ese: Yes. I can speak Hausa very, very well.

Were you speaking Hausa before you left for Kano?

Ese: No.

So, how did you come about it? Did they teach you?

Ese: No. It is because the people there speak only Hausa. They don’t understand English. And when they spoke, I didn’t understand; so I tried and struggled so I could understand what they were saying and communicate with them. That was how I learnt the language.

They call you Aisha. Didn’t you tell them that’s not your name?

Ese: I answered it like that.

What’s your real name?
Ese: Rita.

How would you relate with your other siblings when you get back home?

Ese: I don’t even know. I have a feeling that they would do something to me for this thing that has happened.

Like what?

Ese: I don’t know if my mother will beat me when we get home for what has happened because she may think that I know everything that happened to me.

I don’t think she would do that, considering all the efforts she put to get you back home.

(Then the mother assured her that she would do no such thing, saying she was filled with gladness for seeing her alive).

How old are you? There has been a controversy about your age.

Ese: I am 14 years old.
When were you born?

Ese: I was born in February 2002.
What is your favourite subject in school?
Ese: Mathematics.

And what do you hope to become in future?

Ese: I hope to go back to school and become a nurse in the future.

Your brother said you are a good Christian and member of the Scripture Union in your school and that you used to preach to people. Is this true?

Ese: (Smiles) Yes.

Tell me about it.

Ese: Yes, I am in the SU, but they took it to the senior students and the senior students started misbehaving. So, we in the junior class took our own to a different level to sanitise the whole thing. We hold our fellowship in our class and go out for evangelism.

What is your advice to young girls like you out there, considering what you have gone through?

Ese: They should be careful.

How?

Ese: They should be careful with the people they play with or talk with, because it’s not everybody that is good.

What is your appeal to your parents since you are afraid they are going to beat you?

Ese: I don’t know what to do. I am confused. I don’t know what really happened to me and I don’t even know where I am. But I know that she is my mother.

What did you miss most while in Kano?
Ese: I missed my mother’s cooking. She used to cook sweet food for me; so I missed good food.

Does it mean you were not eating good food?

Ese: Yes, I was only eating rice and bread.

Excerpts from her Interview:
How did you meet Yinusa?
Ese: We sell food in Bayelsa; so they, Yellow and his other people, used to come and buy food from us.

What does Yinusa do in Bayelsa?
Ese: He came to Bayelsa to look for money.

People say Inuwa is your boyfriend. Is this true?

Ese: No, he is not my boyfriend. Like I told you, we sell food in Bayelsa, and so, he used to come and buy food from us. He is not the only one; they are many and I used to play with all of them like my own brothers because they buy food from us. I sell food to them just like that.

Can you remember the day he took you from Bayelsa to Kano? How did it happen?

Ese: I don’t know.

Did he tell you that you were traveling to Kano?

Ese: No. We didn’t go with his Keke (tricycle). His keke, is at home.

Did he come to the house to carry you?
Ese: No.

So, how did you travel to Kano?
Ese: I just followed him. I don’t know how I followed him.

People believe that you decided to run away with him because you love him and want to marry him at all cost.
Ese: I know that we used to play with all of them, our customers that come to buy food from our shop.

There is nobody that is different. I sell food to all of them and I laugh with all of them.

So, how did you know you were in Kano since you didn’t know how you got there?

Ese: I saw that the place was different and the people there are people that I didn’t know. So, I knew it was his place because I did not know anybody there, but only him. We went to their house first.


So, what did you do?
Ese: I did not do anything.

What did you tell him?
Ese: I did not tell him anything.

So, you just started staying with him like that?

Ese: We travelled to Kura the next day with one man like that. He is the chief of the town. When we got there, they took me to one place and there they gave me hijab; they put it on me. And after that, they took me to one house in Kura. And from there on Monday, in the morning, we went back to the Emir’s Palace in Kano; then in the afternoon, we travelled back to Kura, to stay in the house.

What did you all go to do at the Emir’s Palace?

Ese: At the Emir’s Palace, they were asking him questions. They did not talk to me. They did not ask me anything, but they were asking him. Then they were speaking in Hausa language and I did not understand the language very well that time; so I didn’t understand what they were saying.

Was it at the Emir’s Palace that you first saw your mother?

Ese: Yes. I saw her, but I was not able to talk to her. I was just looking at her and she was crying. I just looked at her. I did not know her and I did not talk to her.

Did you recognise her as your mother?
Ese: I don’t know. I looked at her and she was crying.

But when you saw her on Tuesday at the Police Force Headquarters in Abuja, did you recognise her as your mother?

Ese: Yes.

While you were away in Kano, they said you got married. Is this true?

Ese: No.

Was there any marriage ceremony?

Ese: No, I did not get married to anybody.

But did they convert you to a Muslim?

Ese: Yes.
How did that happen?

Ese: They took me to one place. Before they took me from the house to Kura, they put me in hijab, then we went to Kura.

When we got there, they went to one place, and one old man came there and he would say something and they would say I should repeat. Then I would repeat. If the man said something again, they would say I should repeat and I would repeat just like that.

So, that was how you got converted?

Ese: Yes.

There is also this rumour that it was one old man that actually married you and not Inuwa. Is this true?

Ese: I did not get married to anybody.
While you were there in Kano, did you ever fall sick?

Ese: I don’t know.

What kind of medical attention did you get? Did they give you any injection?
Ese: No, I don’t know. But they did not give me because I don’t like taking injections and I will not take injection when I am sick. It was only when they arrested me on Monday in Kano that they took me to the hospital. And when we got here in Abuja, they took me to the hospital again yesterday, Tuesday. Those are the only two occasions that I have gone to the hospital.

Did they give you any medicine?
Ese: Medicine? I don’t know. But if they put it in water or food… They used to give me something, but I don’t know if it is water they used to prepare it. But if I am not well, they would buy medicine for me and I would take. But it was not those types of native medicine. It was from the pharmacy.
Are you happy reuniting with your family?
Ese: Yes, I am happy to go back to my family.

How do you feel now?

Ese: I don’t know how I feel, but I just look calm. I don’t know what to do.

Do you regret what has happened to you?

Ese: Yes.

How?

Ese: I don’t know, but I have caused my mother a lot of trouble and put her into problem.

If you see Yinusa now, what would you tell him?

Ese:I tell you I’m confused. I don’t know what to do (then she started crying).
What were you doing when you were in Kano?

Ese: Nothing.

You mean you just stayed in the house from morning till night?

Ese: Yes. I did not do anything.
I can see that you now speak Hausa language very well.

Ese: Yes. I can speak Hausa very, very well.

Were you speaking Hausa before you left for Kano?

Ese: No.

So, how did you come about it? Did they teach you?

Ese: No. It is because the people there speak only Hausa. They don’t understand English. And when they spoke, I didn’t understand; so I tried and struggled so I could understand what they were saying and communicate with them. That was how I learnt the language.

They call you Aisha. Didn’t you tell them that’s not your name?

Ese: I answered it like that.

What’s your real name?
Ese: Rita.

How would you relate with your other siblings when you get back home?

Ese: I don’t even know. I have a feeling that they would do something to me for this thing that has happened.

Like what?

Ese: I don’t know if my mother will beat me when we get home for what has happened because she may think that I know everything that happened to me.

I don’t think she would do that, considering all the efforts she put to get you back home.

(Then the mother assured her that she would do no such thing, saying she was filled with gladness for seeing her alive).

How old are you? There has been a controversy about your age.

Ese: I am 14 years old.
When were you born?

Ese: I was born in February 2002.
What is your favourite subject in school?
Ese: Mathematics.

And what do you hope to become in future?

Ese: I hope to go back to school and become a nurse in the future.

Your brother said you are a good Christian and member of the Scripture Union in your school and that you used to preach to people. Is this true?

Ese: (Smiles) Yes.

Tell me about it.

Ese: Yes, I am in the SU, but they took it to the senior students and the senior students started misbehaving. So, we in the junior class took our own to a different level to sanitise the whole thing. We hold our fellowship in our class and go out for evangelism.

What is your advice to young girls like you out there, considering what you have gone through?

Ese: They should be careful.

How?

Ese: They should be careful with the people they play with or talk with, because it’s not everybody that is good.

What is your appeal to your parents since you are afraid they are going to beat you?

Ese: I don’t know what to do. I am confused. I don’t know what really happened to me and I don’t even know where I am. But I know that she is my mother.

What did you miss most while in Kano?
Ese: I missed my mother’s cooking. She used to cook sweet food for me; so I missed good food.

Does it mean you were not eating good food?

Ese: Yes, I was only eating rice and bread.

What would you want your mother to cook for you when you get home?

Ese: Banga soup and starch. ?
