Court hearing and Judgement on the case of Ochanya
Today 13/4/2022 OWACDO and other Civil Society Organizations came out in their numbers to witness the judgement of Mr. Andrew Ogboja who allegedly violated, raped and abused Ochanya till her death.
Unfortunately or Fortunately the case was adjourned to 28/4/2022.
Civil Society Organizations, Human Right activists, individuals and the media present were displeased about the development and some of them aired out their grievances to the press and the whole world that was waiting in anticipation. In another Light, the Focal person noted that the adjournment has all given us a opportunity for a better mobilisation. She called on all Civil groups and organizations to come out massively on the 28th April to hear the judgement. It was also reiterated by all that spoke that the judgement has a lot to impact on the implementation of the VAPP Law. Hence Civil society organization expects nothing less that a good and fair judgement on the case.
The state focal person Beatrice Onoja emphasised that it is heartbreaking that a case of such magnitude will continue to be adjourned each time we see hope of Justice for Ochanya coming. But as civil society we will not rest until Justice is served. Others who spoke are: Lemmy Ughegbe ED of Men Against Rape Foundation, Jennifer Gbishe-Igoh Queen Of The Rosary Old Girls Association, Evangelist Enuwa Eso of RESPACFO and Josephine Habba of Jireh Doo Foundation.
