Across social media platforms, Nigerians have reignited the #JusticeForOchanya campaign, reflecting the nation’s enduring sorrow over the tragic fate of 13-year-old Ochanya Ogbanje. This young girl from Benue State captured the nation’s attention when her life was tragically cut short in October 2018, allegedly due to prolonged and severe abuse.
Ochanya’s story initially came to light amidst reports that her worsening health was linked to sustained mistreatment. The details of her experience were harrowing, and the case quickly became a focal point for widespread public outrage and a rallying cry for justice.
The allegations pointed towards Andrew Ogbuja, a lecturer at a university, and his son, Victor Ogbuja, as the primary perpetrators of the abuse Ochanya endured. This shocking revelation sparked demands for accountability from all corners of Nigeria.
Despite the passage of time, the case has yet to be resolved, leaving many frustrated and disheartened. As a result, activists and concerned citizens have taken to social media once more, determined to keep Ochanya’s memory alive and continue the fight for justice in her name.
Years later, the case remains unresolved, prompting activists and citizens to renew calls for accountability.
Advocacy groups emphasize that this revived movement is not only about ensuring justice for Ochanya but also about protecting young girls across Nigeria.
Across social media platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook, Nigerians have expressed frustration over the slow pace of legal proceedings.
Celebrities, influencers, and everyday users are joining the conversation, urging urgent reforms for justice and to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
With #JusticeForOchanya gaining momentum once more, supporters remain hopeful that the case will finally reach a fair conclusion, and that stronger systems will be established to safeguard vulnerable children nationwide.
