Celebrity chef and two-time Guinness World Record breaker Hilda Baci has stepped into a high-stakes fight for justice. She has donated ₦2 million to support the cause of Ochanya Ogbanje a 13-year-old girl who died in 2018 after suffering years of abuse.

According to reports gathered by Global Hints, Ochanya’s tragic story has drawn national attention in Nigeria. She reportedly endured sexual abuse at the hands of her cousin and his father while in their care abuse which led to medical complications and eventually her death in 2018.
The case has since become a rallying point for child-protection advocates under hashtags like #JusticeForOchanya.
#justiceforochanya is trending because an 8yr old was ra/ped to death by her uncle and his son in Benue state, for five years.

In an emotionally charged Instagram post, Hilda shared her sorrow at the injustice and suffering endured by Ochanya and many other girls who don’t have a voice. She emphasized that honouring Ochanya’s memory requires “real action” not just social-media solidarity.

Her donation is intended to support the ongoing legal efforts, and she also asked her fans and followers to pick two trusted NGOs to receive the contribution. In addition, she called on lawyers and legal professionals to volunteer their expertise for the case.
