Yunusa Dahiru, who is standing trial on five count charges of criminal abduction, sexual exploitation, illicit sex, and carnal knowledge of a minor, has been released on bail after six months in prison without fulfilling bail conditions. The case was adjourned till September 13.
 
 A Federal High Court sitting in Yenagua, the capital of Bayelsa state granted him bail but due to the stringent conditions laid down by the court, Yunusa could not meet the conditions until last Friday.

"I have learnt my lessons. This isue has taught me a lot of lessons and shaped my life. I would be cautious on how to relate with others in my future life.," he said in an interview with Daily Trust. "Though I was sent to prison but Muslims brothers from the north under the auspices of Muslim Lawyers Association of Nigeria (MULAN) are always helping me. I thanked everybody that directly or indirectly assisted me in this case. I am the happiest person on earth today because I am reuniting with my family after spending six months in prison. Though the case is not over but I am confident the truth would prevail." he added.

Yunusa's lawyer, Barrister Huwaila Muhammad Ibrahim, said, over 100 lawyers have volunteered to stand for Yunusa with Sheikh Alhaji Yunusa Usman (SAN) leading counsel.

"I never thought of defending men’s right as an activist but from the narration of Ese, I realized that there is need for me to come in and protect his right. We have been following the case up till this moment and we will continue following it until justice is prevailed."
