Today marks exactly one year since Andrew Ochekwo was killed by the Nigerian police in Benue State.

One full year. And still not a single public update. Not from the Nigerian police. Not from any government authority. No press release. No public briefing. Not even a whisper of accountability.

It’s as though his life no matter how controversial simply ceased to exist. Vanished. Forgotten. Brushed under the rug of “old news.”

But let me say this: truth doesn’t die with the person. The truth lingers. It haunts. It whispers through the cracks of official silence.

Not a Defense A Demand for Answers

Let me be clear: I am not here to defend Andrew Ochekwo.

I am here to ask the same questions we were asking one year ago questions that still have no answers today.

Where are Afiba Tandoh and Celine Ndudim? Why has the Nigerian Police Force never publicly acknowledged that these two girls are missing? Why was Andrew never formally charged with any crime related to their disappearance? Why was he killed before a trial or investigation could conclude?

One year later, the silence around these questions is louder than ever.

The Manipulated Narrative

When the news first broke, Andrew was quickly turned into a public villain. Not through due process, but through viral outrage.

And the chief narrator of that outrage? Harrison Gwamnishu a so-called human rights activist who placed himself at the center of the storm. He controlled the narrative. He set the tone. He chose the optics.

He was the one who helped extract Andrew from police custody. He was the one who broadcast selected conversations and accused Andrew publicly, despite no legal backing. He profited from the attention. Gained followers. Claimed moral high ground.

But here we are one year later and now Harrison claims the police are after him.

Why?

Because of a new case involving the alleged kidnapping of five people. A case with strange parallels to Andrew’s. The Nigerian police reportedly asked Harrison to provide those individuals people who were supposedly abducted and later released in connection with Andrew’s house in Anambra.

Is this coincidence or is it a pattern?

Blessing’s Petition and the Syndicate Nobody Investigated

If you followed this story closely, you’ll remember Blessing the so-called friend of the missing girls filed a petition claiming there was a syndicate involved in luring and trafficking women. Her statement raised alarm bells. But no real investigation followed.

I believe, with no doubt in my mind, that Harrison was part of that syndicate. And that Andrew may not have been the only one involved perhaps not even the most powerful.

But instead of digging deeper, the public latched onto a single name: Andrew.

And when he died, everyone assumed the case was closed.

It wasn’t.

The Death of Justice, The Death of Memory

What happened to Andrew is not just a legal failure. It is a national tragedy.

He was never charged. Never tried. He was moved across police jurisdictions without protocol. Then killed. No investigation followed. No autopsy was made public. No officer has been held accountable.

This is not justice. This is state-sanctioned murder.

And let’s not forget: Afiba and Celine are still missing.

Their story has faded from public discourse. Their names barely trend. Their families are left with silence and no official acknowledgment from the Nigerian government that they are even missing.

That silence is not forgetfulness. It is betrayal.

This Is Bigger Than One Man

This story Andrew’s story is not just about him. It’s about a broken system. It’s about a country where human life is disposable. Where police kill without consequence. Where people like Harrison can manipulate the public for clout and walk away.

It’s about how we forget too quickly, and how the system depends on that forgetfulness.

It’s about the two girls who are still not home.

It’s about how justice in Nigeria is not a process but a performance.

To the Nigerian Police: The World Is Watching

This isn’t just a local tragedy. The world is watching.

You killed a man without trial. You’ve hidden the facts for a full year. You’ve never acknowledged the missing girls. You’ve allowed influencers to obstruct investigations.

What exactly are you protecting?

To Harrison Gwamnishu: Your Time Is Coming

You hijacked a tragedy and made yourself the savior. You suppressed evidence. You staged interviews. You created a narrative that served you and buried the truth.

But the same internet you used to rise will be the mirror that exposes you. And when the truth comes out as it always does your hands will not be clean.

To the Nigerian People: Don’t Let This Story Die

I speak today not because I have all the answers but because the questions still matter.

Andrew’s ghost is not resting.

Afiba and Celine’s families are not resting.

And neither should we.

The more we allow these stories to be erased, the more we allow ourselves to be erased. The next victim could be your brother. Your daughter. Your friend.

This is not just about corruption.

This is about memory.

This is about justice.

This is about who we are, and who we are becoming.

The Truth Will Come Out

So let this blog post be a record.

Let it be a warning.

Let it be a reminder that one year later, nothing has been resolved and that is not okay.

For Andrew. For Afiba. For Celine. For the truth.

We are still watching.

We are still asking.

And we will not be silent.
