Yunusa Dahiru (aka Yellow), the
man accused of abducting and forcefully marrying 14-year-old Ese Oruru from
Bayelsa State, was yesterday granted bail by the Federal High Court sitting in
Yenagoa, the state capital.
Yunusa, who hails from Kano
State, is standing trial on five-count of abduction, illicit sex and unlawful
carnal knowledge of the teenager.
The court, presided over by
Justice H. A. Ngajiwa, resumed hearing to rule on a bail application filed by
Yunusa’s five-man team of lawyers, led by Mr. Kayode Olaosebikan.
The court was congested with
curious persons from various walks of life to catch a glimpse of the embattled
Yunusa.
