There are allegations that 10 lawyers allegedly appeared in court to represent Yunusa Yellow, the alleged abductor of Ese Oruru, the teenager who was reportedly kidnapped from Bayelsa state and taken to Kano state.
This was revealed by Annkio Briggs, a human rights and minority rights activist who alleged that Yunusa’s legal team was more fortified that the prosecution team.
Briggs also expressed her dissatisfaction at the way the trial was handled by the police.
She said “How come Yunusa, a Keke driver has a more formidable legal team comprising of good lawyers. I hear the defense team has up to 10 lawyers Ms. Is he the one hiring the lawyers?”
Briggs also said “I am not at all satisfied at the way this matter is going, this is a very sensitive case, if it was someone that went to Kano to abduct a 13-year old, the country would have been on fire by now.
“The Bayelsa and Delta state governors have not done anything to support the prosecution of this matter, abandoning the prosecution to the Police, who from what I saw in court , is not good enough.”
Yunusa, who pleaded guilty to the charges against him, has since been granted bail in the sum of N3m.
