A Peoples Democratic Party presidential aspirant, Nyesom
Wike, has promised to wade into a legal tussle that led to the incarceration of
Yunusa Dahiru, a.k.a Yellow, jailed in Bayelsa State.
A Federal High Court sitting in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, had,
in 2020, sentenced Dahiru to 26 years imprisonment for child trafficking and
sexual exploitation of Ese Oruru.
Dahiru, in 2015, abducted Oruru in Bayelsa State, brought
her to Kano State and allegedly forcefully married and impregnated her.
The Rivers State Governor, who made the pledge in Kano in
response to a request by the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Kano
State chapter, Shehu Sagagi, asked for details to enable him make an informed
decision.
Sagagi, in a welcome speech, requested the visiting
presidential aspirant to, on behalf of Kano people, assist Dahiru who was
languishing in jail.
Sagagi stated, “Kano is disturbed by a series of events that
led to the conviction of our own Yunusa Dahiru, and we decried the inhuman
treatment being meted out to him in jail. In the light of this, we request the
governor to intervene on this matter so dear to us here in Kano State.”
Wike, in response, requested details of the case file and
assured the Kano PDP stalwarts of his readiness to do everything possible
within the ambit of the law to serve justice.
Wike had earlier visited Governor Abdullahi Ganduje and the
Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero.
