Nigerians Demand Justice for Ochanya Seven Years Later, Renew Calls for Action
Nigerians are renewing calls for justice for Elizabeth Ochanya Ogbanje, a 13-year-old Nigerian girl who died seven years ago after enduring prolonged sexual abuse. The case gained public attention in 2018 when it was revealed that she lived with her guardian, Andrew Ogbuja, a lecturer at Benue State Polytechnic, and his son Victor, who allegedly assaulted her.
Despite being aware of the abuse, Andrew and his wife Felicia faced charges related to negligence. The recent activism includes a petition urging the police to ensure Victor's apprehension and a revisit of the case for justice to be served.
