Yinusa Dahiru,
the 18-year-old boy alleged to have abducted, raped and impregnated
14-year-old Ese Oruru, has named the baby girl delivered Fatima. Ese
was delivered of a baby girl
on Thursday
morning at the Government House Clinic after she went into labour at
her Police Officers Mess temporary residence.
Yinusa who was granted
bail since April but unable to meet the bail conditions and is remanded
at the Okaka Medium Security Prisons was said to have broken into
smiles when he was told that Ese had given birth to a baby girl.
According to sources, when the story appeared on social media, one of
the members of the legal team called to confirm and upon confirmation,
the story was broken to the Dahiru family and Yinusa was also informed.
Sources at Okaka Prison said Yinusa was very elated over the news and
he immediately said he was going to name her Fatima, a name borne by
the daughter of Prophet Muahammed. Yinusa was said to have expressed
eagerness to see his daughter when he was told that the girl took after
his complexion.
“ Yinusa has been told about the birth of a baby girl by
Ese Oruru. He was called from Kano and told that he has a daughter
after the Internet pictures were confirmed to be true. He was very
elated over the news and he
immediately gave her the name Fatima after the daughter of Prophet
Mohammed and because of the circumstances surrounding the birth of the
girl, which he believes is divine. The name Fatima is the
personification of high virtues and purity. As I talk to you, I can
tell you that he is eagerly waiting to see the daughter”. However in an
interview, the father of Ese, Mr. Charles Oruru said he is yet to give a
name to his granddaughter. According to him the family has no money
and it is not planning any naming ceremony in line with the tradition.
Mr. Oruru who declared that he is not interested if Yinusa has been
told about the birth of the baby said, the family is willing to
forgive Yinusa if he shows remorse and apologises for his mistakes in
abducting Ese to Kano.
“I don’t want to know if he has been told about the
birth of the girl and has given her a name. All I know is that I am yet
to give her a name. We don’t have money, so we are not thinking of a
naming ceremony. As I said before, we are grateful to God that she
delivered safely. As for Yinusa he has not realized his mistakes for
him to show
remorse. He has to apologise for the whole world to
hear before we would now talk of forgiveness because the case is beyond
us now, the whole world is aware”
