Northern youths under the aegis of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF have declared their intention to end the practice of abduction for marriage in the region.
The group reacting to the public outrage over the abduction of 13 -year-old girl Ese Oruru by 25-year- old Keke NAPEP driver, Yunusa said that perpetrators of such crimes should be made to bear the full weight of the law.
The President of the AYCF, Comrade Shettima Yerima told
The Nation in a telephone chat that the group was not in support of abduction for marriage.
His words:
“The issue has been politicized with many people saying different things. Despite this, the action is immoral. No parent would ever be happy to have an underage child taken away in that manner. Our attention has been drawn to the incident and we have taken it up as one of our projects to begin massive sensitization of people in our region against this kind of thing. We condemn it and stand to say that whoever does such should face the full wrath of the law. “
