on the ruling of a Federal High Court which convicted Yunusa Dahiru for the abduction and sexual abuse of Ese Oruru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of them described his comments that he would contact those \u201ccapable\u201d to influence the ruling as bigoted and paedophilic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PUNCH reports that Justice Jane Inyang of the court sitting in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital on Thursday, sentenced Dahiru to 26 years in prison for criminal abduction, illicit sex, sexual exploitation, and unlawful carnal knowledge of the minor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"833\" height=\"1111\" data-attachment-id=\"1635\"

and taken to Kano, where she was allegedly raped, forcibly converted to Islam and married off without her parents\u2019 consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She was, however, reportedly rescued by the Kano State Police Command on February 29, 2016, and placed in government custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She was five months\u2019 pregnant with her
