Ese Oruru
Journalists and even parents of Ese Oruru were barred from a Federal High Court in Yenagoa on Wednesday as the young lady gave her testimony in court.
The 14-year-old Ese Oruru was allegedly abducted by Yunusa Dahiru, who is facing a five-count charge of criminal abduction, illicit s*x, s*xual exploitation and unlawful carnal knowledge of a minor.
The Prosecuting Counsel, James Amate, had told the court that Ese Oruru had been delivered of a baby girl on May 26, and was available to give evidence.
She was brought into the court at 3 p.m.
The judge, Aliya Nganjiwa, took her evidence in camera after all cases for the day were dispensed with.
Nganjiwa ordered everybody, including Ese’s parent and journalist to go out of the courtroom.
Kayode Olaosebekan, represented the accused and Mrs Dise Ogbise from the Federation of Women Lawyers, appeared for Ese’s parents.
