A representative of the Inspector General of Police counters Yunusa's
father's claim about his son's role in the abduction.

Also, the Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of the zonal
command, Shuaibu Gambo, said leaving the state Sharia commission to
handle the case after the Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi, referred the
matter to the command in August, complicated the situation.

The police regret allowing the Sharia Commission in Kano to handle
Miss Oruru's case.
