Following Public outcry, Emir of Kano Malam Muhammadu Sanusi II has exonerated himself and the emirate council from the purported abduction of a 14-yr old Ese Oruru allegedly by one Yunusa Dahiru Kura.
Oruru was allegedly abducted in Opolo, Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, by Yunusa Dahiru of Kura local government area of Kano sometimes in August, 2015.

A copy of the emir’s letter to the Shari’ah Commission, reads in parts: “I am directed to draw your attention that Aisha Chuwas was recently converted to Islam through the Chief Imam of Kura local government and God so kind one Mallam Yunusa Dahiru intends to marry her as agreement was reached between the two of them.
“In view of the foregoing, His Highness the emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi ll is directing your good office to investigate the issue,” concluded the letter signed by Hamisu Garba Disu on behalf of secretary of the Kano emirate council.
While briefing the emir on the issue in his palace Monday, the District Head of Kura, Alhaji Bello Ado Bayero, said as of four days ago, the girl in question was still with Dahiru.
He said: “When I inquired from the village head of the area four days ago, he confirmed to me that the girl is still with Yunusa Dahiru in Kura local government area of Kano state.”
