Hilda Baci Donates ₦2 Million To Support #JusticeForOchanya Campaign
Guinness World Record–holding chef Hilda Baci has joined the growing #JusticeForOchanya movement, pledging ₦2 million to support survivors of rape and sexual abuse in honour of the late 13-year-old Elizabeth Ochanya Ogbanje. In a moving Instagram post, Baci expressed heartbreak over Ochanya’s story — a young girl who, she said, was “failed by the very people meant to protect her.” “As I read through her story, I couldn’t stop thinking about how many girls carry wounds like hers,” she wrote. “Some have found their voice, some are still silent, and some didn’t get the chance to make it through.” Baci said true justice goes beyond social media campaigns, stressing the need to create safe spaces, fund recovery programs, and hold abusers accountable. “To support that cause, I’m pledging ₦2,000,000 to organisations working with rape and sexual abuse survivors,” she announced. “Please help me choose two trusted NGOs to receive this donation—drop your nominations in the comments or tag them below.” She also revealed she had contributed to the GoFundMe campaign seeking justice for Ochanya, urging others to take action in any way they can. “If you can’t give financially, you can still lend your voice,” she said. “Lawyers can offer legal advice, content creators can amplify verified updates, and brands can support survivors. This isn’t about social media relevance — it’s about standing together for something bigger than all of us.” Hilda Baci’s gesture has drawn widespread praise online, with many Nigerians commending her compassion and commitment to justice for vulnerable girls across the country.
