#JusticeForOchanya campaign resonates with the purpose of "DRY"and the Call To  Action theme of the 2025 16 days of activism UNiTE to End Digital Violence against All Women and Girls from November 25 to December 10.

That's why I have put "DRY" on YouTube for all to watch it and join the campaign so that the horrifying rape that caused the death of Elizabeth Ochanya Ogbanje will not happen again."

The theme of "DRY,' focused on Vesicovaginal Fistula condition and underaged marriage among young women, narrating the traumatic ordeal of a thirteen-year-old girl named Halima. 

Ochanya died from the complications of Vesicovaginal Fistula.

The public demand for #JusticeForOchanya has recently intensified, leading to a significant new development: the reopening of the case by the Benue State High Court in late October 2025. This follows the controversial 2022 acquittal of one of the main suspects, Andrew Ogbuja. 

Elizabeth Ochanya Ogbanje died in October 2018 at the age of 13 due to complications, including vesicovaginal fistula (VVF), resulting from years of alleged serial sexual abuse. She had been living with her aunt and uncle in Benue State. Before her death, she provided a video testimony identifying her alleged abusers as her uncle, Andrew Ogbuja, and his son, Victor Ogbuja.

Mrs. Stephanie Linus is the First Black Recipient of Lennox K. Black Prize for Excellence for her outstanding achievements to empower and heal women. Inspired by a true story, her film “Dry” sheds light on Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF), a devastating childbirth injury impacting girls and women in northern regions of Nigeria. Through her foundation, Extended Hands, Stephanie provides medical care to women suffering from VVF and advocates for change. Her dedication has been recognised with prestigious awards like the Miriam Makeba Award for Excellence in 2017 and the Beyond the Tears Humanitarian Award for her work against rape and VVF.

"One day I came back from work and I met my daughter unclothed. As I was looking and admiring her, my manhood erected and I could not control myself anymore. I started caressing her, but she did not resist me, so we started the act,” Philip Ben shamelessly confessed to the Criminal Investigations Dept of the Panti - Yaba office of the Nigerian Police Force in Lagos state.

The daughter said her father had been sleeping with her since she was 10 and had sexual intercourse with her daily for two years and the last time was in March this year.
