Ochanya's elder brother breaks silence
According to John, the system would have acted faster if his sister came from a wealthy or influential family.
In an interview with Channels TV, he described the situation as traumatising for his family.
He lamented that the renewed call for justice had reopened old wounds, though the support they had received from Nigerians also provided comfort to an extent.
John also spoke about how difficult it had been to relive the tragedy and emphasised that justice would have been faster if his sister had been the child of an elite or someone in power.
He appealed to the authorities, including the Inspector General of Police, the First Lady, and the President, to ensure those involved were found and prosecuted, no matter how long it took.
Ochanya Elizabeth Ogbanje’s story first came to national attention in 2018 after reports emerged that she had died from complications linked to prolonged abuse.
John Ameh said his family remained heartbroken by his sister's death and the long wait for justice.

He noted that the support from Nigerians had given them hope, even as they continued to seek justice in his sister’s case.
In his words:
"It's traumatising. I mean we've been retraumatised with the renewed call for justice in Ochanya's case. However, it's a bit soothing with the support from Nigerians across diverse backgrounds. I've been inundated with calls from many Nigerians. It's been really difficult for us as a family. It's been a challenging time for us again having to relieve the sudden circumstances that led to Ochanya's demise.
"Just think about it, if she were the daughter of a prominent person and elite, would this be happening to her? Would this be happening to us as a family? Certainly not. Certainly not. And it is unfortunate if the Inspector General of Police, including the First Lady of Nigeria and the President, if they really are in charge of this country, they must find these people and bring them to justice, no matter how long it takes."
