Why Buhari’s Aide Makes U-turn, on Ese Oruru’s Kidnap comments
Bashir Ahmad, Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on New Media, has recanted comments where he promised a Twitter user that he would intervene in changing the conviction of a child trafficker and rapist.
The Federal High Court in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, had sentenced Yunusa Dahiru (AKA Yellow), to 26 years imprisonment for child trafficking and sexual exploitation of Ese Oruru.
Oruru was reportedly abducted by Dahiru in Bayelsa in 2015, taken to Kano State where she was allegedly forcefully married and impregnated by Dahiru.
A Twitter user Hammad Yusuf Saleh @al_ansariy had asked the presidential aide to intervene in upturning the conviction by the court which he says was manipulated.
In response, Ahmad promised to meet the right persons that can intervene in the matter.
