Miss Ese Oruru, the 14-year-old girl, who was allegedly kidnapped and impregnated by Kano State-born Yunusa Dahiru, alias Yellow, was Thursday delivered of a baby girl in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
It was gathered that Ese gave birth at the State Government House clinic at about 10.15am.
Her father, Charles Oruru, who was obviously elated by the development, confirmed that Ese and her baby girl were in good health conditions.
Ese was in Junior Secondary School when she was allegedly abducted in Bayelsa State last August and taken to Kano where she was converted to lslam and married without the consent of her parents.
Following media pressure and outcries by members of the public, was returned to Yenagoa and had been living at the police officers’ mess.
Ese’s father said that the family was excited about the latest addition to the family, despite the circumstances surrounding her pregnancy.
He said that the baby and the mother were doing well, adding that the young girl gave birth without much trouble.
He said: “Yes, my daughter gave birth in the morning around a quarter past 10. The mother and the child are well. She gave birth to herself (a baby girl). We are very happy that she gave birth safely’’.
Ese’s case is currently before federal high Court in Yenagoa, Bayelsa state, where her alleged kidnapper, Dahiru is facing a five-count charge of kidnapping, unlawful carnal knowledge and sexual exploitation of a minor.
Dahiru has been in prison custody unable to fulfil the bail conditions slammed by the court headed by Justice Ajiya Nganjiwa.
