A Nigerian family is in grief, demanding justice for their daughter, Priscilla Ocheme, a 24-year-old woman who tragically lost her life after visiting her boyfriend in Lugbe, Abuja.
Priscilla’s family believes she was murdered.
Their cries for justice have sparked outrage on social media, and activist Harrison Gwamnishu has taken up their cause.
According to the family, Priscilla went to visit her boyfriend, whom they identified through his Instagram handle, @Iamomoba.
But something went horribly wrong during that visit.
The family alleges that this boyfriend is responsible for her death.
However, they are not just devastated by the loss of their daughter; they are also angry about how the case has been handled by the authorities.
“The police allowed the main suspect to go free before any autopsy was conducted,” said a distraught family member.
The family claims Priscilla’s body is still in the mortuary, and they are in deep pain as they wait for answers.
They suspect there has been a serious oversight by the police.
“The fact that they didn’t even conduct an autopsy before releasing him raises red flags,” another family member said.
Their concerns have been shared widely on social media, with many Nigerians expressing shock over what they see as a potential cover-up or gross negligence.
It’s not just the family that is outraged.
Activist Harrison Gwamnishu, known for his work on justice and human rights, is leading the charge for a proper investigation.
He took to social media, sharing the tragic story and calling for action.
“This young woman cannot just die in vain,” he said in a post that quickly went viral.
Gwamnishu, who has been involved in other high-profile cases, said this is a clear case of justice delayed.
“This is not the first time we have seen cases where justice is delayed, or worse, denied,” Gwamnishu said.
He has called for an immediate reopening of the investigation.
Gwamnishu is also demanding that a thorough autopsy be performed to uncover the true cause of Priscilla’s death.
“We need to know what happened to her,” he said.
Priscilla’s family believes that a fair investigation could reveal the truth and lead to the prosecution of those responsible.
But until that happens, they feel abandoned by the system that is supposed to protect them.
There is growing concern about the way this case has been handled by law enforcement.
The family’s frustration has been amplified by the fact that key procedures, such as an autopsy, were not conducted before the suspect was released.
This has only deepened their fears that their daughter may never get justice.
Many people on social media are also asking tough questions, demanding transparency from the police.
“How can you release a suspect when the cause of death hasn’t even been determined?” one user commented.
Another said, “This isn’t just about one family’s pain; it’s about a broken system that continues to fail victims.”
Priscilla’s family has vowed not to give up.
They continue to call for a thorough investigation that will lead to justice.
“We won’t rest until those responsible are brought to justice,” a family member declared.
Harrison Gwamnishu has echoed their calls, urging the police to step up and do what’s right.
He insists that there must be accountability for what he sees as a clear case of police failure.
Gwamnishu’s involvement has helped draw attention to the case, but the family is still waiting for the justice they deserve.
The case has also triggered a larger conversation in Nigeria about how cases like this are often mishandled by the authorities.
Too many families, advocates say, have suffered due to the slow pace of justice or the outright negligence of law enforcement.
This case has become a rallying cry for those demanding reforms in the way police handle investigations, particularly in situations where the life of a young person has been tragically cut short.
As the case unfolds, many Nigerians are watching closely to see if the authorities will reopen the investigation and conduct the autopsy that the family has been pleading for.
Priscilla’s family believes that without a proper investigation, justice will remain out of reach.
“Her death cannot be in vain,” Gwamnishu said in a powerful statement, adding that he would continue to fight until the truth is uncovered.
