A young Nigerian lady has moved many to tears on TikTok after narrating her personal experience with the late Ochanya Ogbanje, the teenage girl whose tragic death was linked to abuse.
In her emotional video, the lady disclosed that she attended the same secondary school as Ochanya and that both of them were placed under the care of the same guardian.
The TikTok user, identified as @fynene1, expressed deep pain as she recounted the ordeal that Ochanya went through while she was still alive.
According to her, Ochanya was often punished by senior students for “bed-wetting”, without anyone realising that the young girl was suffering abuse at the time.
She remembered that Ochanya was quiet, timid and frequently ill, spending much of her time at the school’s sick bay. She explained that Ochanya joined the school when she was in SS2 and passed away when she herself was in SS3.
The former schoolmate also mentioned that Mr Andrew Obuja, one of the key suspects later linked to the case, had two daughters in the same school, one of whom was reportedly Ochanya’s classmate.
She noted that the girls often conversed closely and were seen visiting together, but she never suspected anything unusual until news of Ochanya’s death broke.
According to her, both she and Ochanya were under the supervision of a woman who ran a small shop in the school.
The guardian was responsible for their welfare and often made them share meals from one large plate. She recounted how the late Ochanya was often teased and nicknamed ‘Ogbanje’ by some of the seniors, a name she said came from her guardian’s son.
However, despite the constant teasing and punishment, she alleged that the young girl couldn’t bring herself to speak up about what she was enduring at the time.
The lady further narrated that one day, during her SS3, she saw several cars parked around the school’s sick bay, including the principal’s, and that was the day she knew that the girl had been going through a lot.
She lamented bitterly over the young girl’s devastating experience and prayed that justice prevailed in the end.
“Justice for Ochanya. She was my junior in secondary school. I don’t even like watching her videos. We had the same guardian. I don’t have the platform I need for this story but Ochanya was my jnr in secondary school we had the same guardian,” she said.
