Ochanya  Elizabeth Ogbanje was a 13 year old girl from Benue State, Nigeria, full of life, dreams, and promise.

She left her home to pursue education, hoping for a better future. But what should have been a new beginning became a story that shook an entire nation.

In 2018, Ochanya’s life was tragically cut short after a long period of mistreatment and neglect. Her passing sparked public outrage, grief, and a nationwide demand for justice. People from all walks of life stood up, raising their voices through the campaign #JusticeForOchanya not just for her, but for every child who deserves safety and protection.

Civil organizations, women’s groups, and everyday Nigerians have continued to demand accountability and reform, refusing to let her memory fade. Her mother’s courage and the family’s persistence have inspired many to keep pushing until justice is fully served.

Ochanya’s story is a painful reminder that we must never stay silent when we see injustice.

Her life may have been short, but her impact continues to echo — in classrooms, homes, and hearts across the country.

Let her name stand as a promise that every child’s dream deserves protection, that every voice deserves to be heard, and that justice must never sleep.
