Seven years after the tragic death of 13-year-old Ochanya Ogbanje, the #JusticeForOchanya campaign has resurfaced across social media platforms in Nigeria, reigniting public outrage and calls for accountability. Ochanya, from Benue State, died in October 2018 after allegedly suffering years of sexual and physical abuse. Her case drew nationwide attention after it was revealed that she had been assaulted by a university lecturer, Andrew Ogbuja, and his son, Victor Ogbuja. The abuse reportedly caused severe health complications that led to her death. Despite the public uproar that followed, the case has dragged on for years without resolution, leading to widespread frustration. The renewed campaign has seen Nigerians once again demanding justice, with activists, celebrities, and advocacy groups amplifying their voices on X, Instagram, and Facebook. Human rights advocates say the revival of the movement goes beyond seeking justice for Ochanya — it’s also a reminder of the urgent need for reforms to strengthen Nigeria’s justice and child protection systems. As the hashtag #JusticeForOchanya trends again, many hope that her case will finally reach a fair conclusion and serve as a turning point in the fight against child abuse and gender-based violence in Nigeria.
