She was abducted at 13 and taken 846 km from Bayelsa State in Nigeria's South South to Kano State in The North, then on the intervention of civils rights groups and the order of the Emir of Kano, Ese Oruru was last week released. She is now 14.

Flown to Abuja with his captor, Muslim groups rose in condemnation of his abduction on Tuesday, but the teenager who is now on verge of being reunited with his family is said to be 5 months pregnant.

According to Nigeria Vanguard Newspapers, the 14 year old girl from Bayelsa state who was abducted by Yinusa Dahiru, may be about 5 months pregnant.

The news comes as new photo emerged showing the teenager in a white muslim gab (above) and according to the paper, white Hijab she wore when she arrived on Tuesday, was used to disguise the alleged pregnancy.

Her new condition was what made the police to decide to fly both of them by air rather embark on a long road journey. 

"This was after she had been handed over to the Gender and Child Protection Unit where a team from the Medical Department of the Force carried out a comprehensive medical examination of her at the Police Medical Facility in Area 1, Garki and confirmed her pregnancy," emerging reports say.

Meanwhile, the IGP has directed the Bayelsa State Police Command to take over investigation in the child violence offense saga because the offense was committed in Bayelsa which is the place of residence of the abductor, Yunusa Dahiru.

Consequently, Vanguard was told that Yunusa will be moved to Yenegoa to face interrogation and prosecution for kidnapping and child abuse as well as violence against a girl-child.
