John Ameh, a journalist and family member of the late 13-year-old r@p3 victim, Ochanya Ogbanje, says the family is considering a civil lawsuit against those named in connection with her death.
Ameh stated this on Friday while responding to questions in an interview on Arise Television.
According to him, the Benue State Government and the Nigeria
Police Force have failed to arrest Victor Ogbuja, the main suspect in Ochanya’s
r#pe and death, who has remained at large since 2018.
“It is shocking that the same issue before two courts
produced two different outcomes. The State High Court acquitted and discharged
Andrew Ogbuja, while the Federal High Court convicted his wife on the same
facts.
“That demonstrates the government’s failure to hold
criminals responsible,” Ameh said.
The Premium Times journalist also lamented that regardless
of public outcry, the suspect continues to live freely in Lagos, alleging
official negligence and political protection.
