A 4yrs old child was raped at around October last year and since then she and her family have not gotten justice. The rapist and his people are trying to use money to cover up the case @Lagosdsva @Lagosdsva @LagosPoliceNG @LagosPoliceNG @PoliceNG @BenHundeyin

Do you know what's more painful about Ochanya's predicament? She was doing so well in the village school. She said she wanted to be a medical doctor when she grows up. Winifred's mum returned to the village one Christmas. Decided to take Ochanya to the City to get good education since she was sound and intelligent. And that was the end of her dreams, her ambition, and her life. Winifred's dad and brother raped her for five years till she d!ed. Guess what! The rapists children are doing so well in life. Winifred is now a lawyer and a social media influencer. Victor is doing so well in his musical career, and he's about to release a track. Ihotu, the rapist's last born who was in the same class with Ochanya just got admission to Benue State University. Ochanya would have been 20years now, and probably in her 100level studying her dream course, Medicine and Surgery in Benue State University. But she was used as the sacrificial lamb. Can I tell you something? Ochanya has come back to demand for justice. This time around, with you, I and millions of Nigerians solidly behind her shouting for justice. This time around, we will not allow the case to be swept under the carpet like it was in 2018. Until justice prevails, we remain Ochanya's voice. Remember, silence in the face of injustice is INJUSTICE—and evil. #JusticeforOchanya

It took months for me to finally complete this article because I have been so busy! Whew! In June, I attended and moderated a panel at the United Nations Open Source Week and I wrote all about it here. It’s a long read but it shares my reflections and some insights.
