Was Ese Oruru Writing Love Letters To Yunusa Before He Abducted Her?

Fresh revelations have suggested that a sort of intimacy
could have existed between Ese Oruru and Yunusa Dahiru (a.k.a Yellow) before
the abduction saga which has culminated in the arraign­ment of the latter on
five-count charges before the Federal High Court in Yena­goa, the Bayelsa State
capital.

Yunusa, in an interview shortly after his arraignment had
claimed responsi­bility for the five-month old pregnancy Ese is carrying,
noting that the girl’s mother, Mrs. Rose Oruru was aware of their relationship
before the alleged ab­duction incident.

Though Mrs. Oruru had denied the involvement of Ese and
Yunusa in any love relationship, a letter exclusively obtained by Saturday Sun
from an im­peccable source, indicates that the two may have had something
together. In the undated letter, which authenticity could not be verified as at
Press Time, Ese had professed love to Yunusa, disclosing she had refused
friendship requests from four other Hausa boys.

Ese also revealed in the letter the three conditions Yunusa
required from her in the bid to cement their love affair.

In the letter, Ese had disclosed that Yunusa asked for three
things, includ­ing following him to Kano; drop her Christian religion for Islam
and love only him.

While Ese affirmed that she was ac­tually 13 years as at the
time she wrote the love letter last year, she indicated that there was a plan
for Yunusa to travel to Kano first, and she followed, even though she
considered the arrangement ‘unfair’.

“I have already accepted the first re­quest, then while you
decide to tell me that you cannot take me along with you the same day. It is
very unfair Inusa, why just tell me why you decide to be unfair. Well, Inusa
there are many Hausa boys who asked for friendship but did not get it. I had so
many people who I have lived with, do you know what it means to live the people
you had live with for 13 good years of your life (sic)”, she asked.

She entitled the letter, ‘Pls read & re­ply me Inusa’.

Attempts to run the letter by Ese proved abortive, it was
learnt that members of the family had relocated and were under protective
custody in an undisclosed location.
