In an exclusive interview with Daily Sun in a private home in Abuja, Ese said it was only after she got to Kano and saw that the people and the environment were strange that she realised she was no longer at home. She also told Daily Sun that her real age was 14, not 17 as was being speculated. She said she was born in February 2002.The girl, who now has a deep Hausa accent and speaks Hausa very fluently, said she had to adjust to her new environment. She said she was forced to speak Hausa, as everybody around her could speak only Hausa. During the interview, she appeared a little unstable. She said she missed her mother’s cooking, even as she expressed fear that her parents might decide to punish her for leaving home. How did you meet Yinusa? We sell food in Bayelsa
