The Bayelsa-born girl who was rescued by the Police in Kano after six months has been reunited with her family.

It was learnt that her condition necessitated the directives by the police authorities that she should be handed over to the Gender and Child Protection Unit and later, a team from the Medical Department of the Force to carry out a comprehensive medical examination of the girl at the Police Medical Facility in Area 1, Garki.
The Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, has directed the Bayelsa State Police Command to immediately commence investigation process especially as the offence was committed in Bayelsa where Yunusa Dahiru was resident before he took Ese to Kano.
There are indications that Dahiru might be moved to Bayelsa to face interrogation and prosecution for kidnapping and child abuse.
