Nigerians have said the Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase, was wrong to have waited for the Emir of Kano to rescue Ese Oruru, a minor who had been held against her parents’ consent for more than eight years.
Arase had on Sunday spoken about the failure of the police to rescue Ese despite being informed of the case since 2015,
He said, “The Emir decided that he was going to mediate. But, because of his trip to Mecca with the President; that was what caused the delay. But now that he is back, we are going to sort it out as quickly as possible.”
He was, however, criticised for the comment by Sen. Ben Murray-Bruce, who stressed that it was his responsibility to not only free the girl but to ensure that those responsible for her travail were sanctioned.
We asked Nigerians who they think should be responsible for ensuring the freedom of Ese, between the IGP and Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II.
Only a few people think the Emir should be responsible, as 94.4 per cent of people who responded to our question agreed that the IGP was responsible.
