Nigerian human rights activist, Harrison Gwamnishu, has launched an urgent appeal for justice following the tragic and untimely death of 24-year-old Priscilla Ocheme. Priscilla was allegedly murdered by her boyfriend, a man identified as @Iamomoba on Instagram, in Lugbe, Abuja.
Priscilla’s grieving relatives reached out to the prominent activist to help amplify their calls for justice, claiming that their daughter was killed after her boyfriend invited her to his home. The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, with many questioning how such a tragedy could occur.
In their plea for justice, Priscilla’s family expressed deep frustration and dissatisfaction with the way the case has been handled by the authorities. They are particularly outraged with the police for their decision to release the prime suspect before key forensic procedures, such as an autopsy, were conducted. This, they argue, has not only delayed justice but has also led to suspicions of negligence or a potential cover-up in the investigation.
The family is heartbroken that, to date, Priscilla’s body remains in the mortuary without a proper investigation into her cause of death. They firmly believe that an autopsy is essential to ascertain whether foul play was involved, and they are deeply troubled that no such steps have been taken before the suspect’s release. This has fueled public concerns about the credibility of the investigation and the likelihood of a fair outcome.
In response to the family’s distress, Harrison Gwamnishu, who is well known for his advocacy work on behalf of victims of injustice and human rights violations, has taken to social media to highlight the case. His posts have gained significant traction, drawing attention to the apparent mishandling of Priscilla’s case and calling for immediate action from law enforcement.
Gwamnishu has urged the police and relevant authorities to reopen the investigation, insisting that a proper autopsy must be performed to uncover the true circumstances surrounding Priscilla’s death. He emphasized that justice cannot be served without an accurate determination of how she died, and he has demanded that those responsible be held accountable.
As outrage continues to grow on social media, many users have joined in the calls for justice for Priscilla, demanding transparency and accountability from the police. The hashtag #JusticeForPriscilla has gained momentum, with people from all walks of life urging the authorities to take decisive action and ensure that those responsible for her death face prosecution.
Priscilla’s family remains resolute in their pursuit of justice, pleading for a thorough and impartial investigation that will reveal the truth and bring those involved to justice. They continue to call for support from the public, determined to ensure that Priscilla’s death does not go unpunished and that her story serves as a catalyst for reform in the handling of similar cases in Nigeria.
