Ochanya Elizabeth Ogbanje d!ed from VVF complications after she was allegedly r@ped for years by her aunt's husband, Andrew Ogbuja, 61, and son, Victor Ogbuja.
The victim was laid to rest on Friday, November 2, 2018 at Ogene-Amejo Village in Okpokwu Local Government of Benue State.
Andrew Ogbuja, a lecturer at the Benue State Polytechnic, Ugbokolo, and his son, Victor, were accused of molesting Ochanya since she was 8. They were also accused of having vaginal and an@l s#x with her and this caused her to develop Vesicovagina Fistula (VVF).
Few days ago, some Nigerians took to social media to demand justice for the deceased.
In a statement released on her social media page this morning, Senator Natasha said she has learnt that the suspects have been discharged and acquitted. She asked the family of the deceased to write a petition to her office so she can follow up with the case.
