Earlier today, Justice Jane Inyang of the Federal High Court in Bayelsa state sentenced Yanisu Dalhiru, to 26 years imprisonment for abducting teenage girl, Ese Oruru from her parents home in Bayelsa in 2015 and taking her to Kano state where he converted her to a Muslim, forcefully married her and got her pregnant.
Nigerians have taken to social media to react to the judgment of the court. While some have applauded the judgement, others have argued that it is totally biased.
See their reactions below….
Honestly I don’t know what is wrong with some people sef,a 13year old girl was kidnapped impregnated by her captor forced to change her religion, taken from her family,to meet a new one.For God’s sake she is under age, y would she want to runaway and get married at that age.This is bullshit, some of u are saying judgement is harsh,are u people even humans at all? If ur daughter, sister, mother or aunt was taken away from like this? is it this useless statements u all are going to make? bringing religion and tribalism into this delicate issue,yunusa got what he deserved this should serve as a lesson to whomever will want to elope with somebody’s daughter without formal introduction to both parties concerned.what pains me most is the fact that her mother had to fight for 7months before being able to get her daughter and it took four years for justice to served.Sanusi lamido is also a culprit too, because he prevented the girl from leaving with her mother for seven months.all of u making stupid comment about igbos and religion should go back to this story in 2015 and read what actually happened.rubbish because she is not ur daughter that is y abi? Incase u don’t know what is happening money are being paid to young men to kidnapp female children in Nigeria here ,this men are charged with the sole responsibility to marry them and convert by any means necessary.And yet no arrests has been made.pls and please if u have nothing useful to type,I suggest you throw ur phone away.
