Following the directive by the Inspector General of Police that the roles of police detectives and other senior officers involved in the abduction drama of Ese be investigated, the Police Service Commission, PSC, the body tasked with responsibility of punishing officers for offences, has said it will sanction those found wanting in the matter. “The Police Service Commission will not hesitate to sanction any Police Officer no matter how highly placed, who is found culpable in the abduction saga of Ese Oruru, who was said to have been abducted and forced into marriage in Kano,” a statement by the commission said. Freed Ese Oruru at Police Headquarters, Abuja, yesterday.

Continuing, the statement signed by Ikechukwu Ani, Head of Public Relations said: “The commission is waiting on the on-going investigation of some police officers on the directive of the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase, and will ensure that any police officer found to have compromised himself either by omission or commission in the saga will be flushed out.” Commending the IGP for his swift action in rescuing the teenager and ensuring that she was immediately reunited with her family, the PSC said it would work with the IGP to see that Nigerians, including the likes of Ese, were guaranteed their freedom to life.

Bayelsa govt sets up medical team for Ese

In Yenagoa,Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, has revealed that a medical team, including psychologists and other experts, has been set up to support Ese Oruru on her road to recovery. He made the revelation at a press conference held at the State House, after a closed door meeting with the Oruru family.

The governor also commended the media and civil society groups for their “appropriate interests” in Ese Oruru. He said the state government would support Ese and the family in managing these trying times.

“I told the family that it could have been worse because their daughter may have disappeared forever,” he said. He promised that adequate measures would be taken to ensure Ese’s welfare.

Dickson said: “This matter has to do with enforcement of the laws of the State. Everything has to be done to protect the girl-child, like Ese’s case has shown.

“This is not a religious matter, but the right of a young girl to grow up with her parents. I want to use the opportunity to assure all that the police and the directorate of public prosecution are working to ensure that this matter is pursued to its logical conclusions.

“There are questions begging for answers. How come adults who see a minor in far away Kano did not deem it right to return such minor to the lawful custody of her parents?

“We want to know who could have saved this situation but did not. We have set up a team that includes psychologists and others. We are ready to support and stand by Ese, not just now but in the days, months and years ahead.”

We are relieved—

Ese’s father Mr. Charles Oruru, father of Ese, yesterday, at his Opolo residence on the return of his daughter said: “I am very happy the storm is over. I thank God for her safe return and all Nigerians who made it possible for her return. I thank the commissioner of police, the NGOs, the media and other civil society groups.It had been a traumatic experience for us. I was like a fish out of water. I was not sleeping well. It was a real war for our family.” Rose and Charles Oruru, parents of Ese. On the health condition of his daughter he said: “Whatever you read in the newspaper is true. Ese’s Family and Friend are glad to see her back to them.

Oleksandr Usyk Defeats Tyson Fury Again, Solidifies Legacy Among Boxing Greats

Ukrainian boxing sensation Oleksandr Usyk retained his heavyweight championship titles and cemented his place in boxing history with a unanimous decision victory over Britain’s Tyson Fury in their rematch on Saturday night.

The judges scored the bout 116-112 in Usyk’s favor across the board, marking his second consecutive win over Fury. This victory extended Usyk’s flawless professional record to 23-0, with 14 knockouts, adding another chapter to a career already highlighted by Olympic gold and an undisputed cruiserweight championship.

A Masterclass Performance

Usyk, 37, showcased his signature precision and relentless pace, repeatedly catching Fury with clean left hooks and dominating the latter stages of the fight. Fury, at 6ft 9in (206cm) and weighing a career-high 281 pounds, attempted to impose his physicality but was unable to break Usyk’s composure.

The fight, held in Saudi Arabia, saw Usyk wearing traditional Cossack attire during his entrance, while Fury entered the arena dressed in a festive Santa-inspired robe to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

The early rounds were competitive, with Fury landing powerful jabs and body shots. However, Usyk’s endurance and tactical brilliance began to shine in the middle rounds. The Ukrainian landed sharp combinations and dictated the tempo, including a stunning uppercut in the final round that left little doubt about the outcome.

“I thought I’ve won both fights,” Fury said post-match, sporting a bruised right eye. “But I’ll always believe until the day I die that I won that fight.”

A Legacy Sealed

Usyk’s victory solidified his standing as one of the greatest heavyweights in history. Already the first undisputed heavyweight of the four-belt era, Usyk joins the ranks of legends like Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, and Mike Tyson.

The bout, reported to have a prize purse of $190 million, also underscored Saudi Arabia’s growing influence in global sports. Usyk, who served briefly as a soldier during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, celebrated his victory by hoisting a symbolic sabre belonging to Ukrainian nationalist hero Ivan Mazepa.

Fury’s Uncertain Future

The defeat leaves Fury’s future in doubt. Once unbeaten across 35 fights, Fury now stands at 34-2-1. His attempt to reclaim glory after a brief retirement in 2022 has been marred by back-to-back losses to Usyk.

Usyk, on the other hand, continues to add to his already remarkable resume, leaving fans and critics alike in awe of his technical skill, resilience, and determination. As the heavyweight division looks ahead, Usyk’s reign appears unshakable, and his place among boxing’s all-time greats is firmly secured.
