A Kano man popularly known as Yunusa Yellow regained  freedom yesterday after serving his six-year jail term for child trafficking and sexual exploitation.

A Federal High Court sitting in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, had sentenced Yellow to 26 years imprisonment for the offence.

Delivering judgement in the case in 2016, Justice Jane Inyang held that Dahiru was not guilty of count one which bothered on abduction.

The judge, however, found him guilty of child trafficking, illicit sex, sexual exploitation and unlawful carnal knowledge.

After an appeal, the appellate court reduced the sentence to six years.

A source close to Yellow’s family said he was reuniting with his family and friends.

The case of Dahiru and Ese generated a lot of reactions in 2015 when it was first reported.

Ese was reportedly abducted by Dahiru in Bayelsa in 2015, taken to Kano State where she was allegedly forcefully married and impregnated by Dahiru.

Ese, the daughter of Mr Charles and Rose Oruru who hail from Uwheru community in Ughelli, Delta State, was allegedly married off to Dahiru without her parents’ consent and subsequently impregnated.

While in Kano, Ese, who was 13 years old at the time, was reportedly converted to Islam and renamed Aisha.

Ese was later rescued by the police in Kano with a five-month-old pregnancy, allegedly belonging to Dahiru.
