The Communications Unit, Anastasia Odochi Uchenna Campaign Council, has demanded justice for the late Miss Wendy Chizaram Achumba, the 21-year-old student nurse who was brutally murdered in Obowo, Imo State, and was laid to rest in her hometown.
Recall that Late Wendy, an indigene of Umuokahia II, Anunu Ukwu Autonomous Community, Obingwa Local Government Area of Abia State, was murdered on Thursday, May 21, 2026, in Imo State, by two suspects, Onyema Okonkwo and Emmanuel Onyekachi, both indigenes of the host community, Umudara Umulogho, Obowo, where her school is situated.
DrumAfricanews reports that on Friday, 3rd July 2026, in a deep, sorrowful moment, the remains of the late Miss Wendy Chizaram Achumba were laid to rest in her hometown as family, friends, and well-wishers bid her a final farewell.
Reacting, the Communications Unit, Anastasia Odochi Uchenna Campaign Council, insisted that Chizaram’s burial must not mark the end of the collective pursuit of justice but should rather strengthen resolve to ensure that everyone responsible for the heinous crime is prosecuted and brought to justice in accordance with the law.
The campaign council, which is responsible for the actualisation of the aspiration of Mrs Anastasia Odochi Uchenna to represent Aba Central Constituency in the Abia State House of Assembly in 2027, insisted that justice for Wendy is not only about seeking accountability for her tragic death.
It, however, said that justice for her is also about reaffirming society’s commitment to protecting the rights, dignity, and safety of every woman and every vulnerable member of society.
“No family should have to endure such a painful loss without the assurance that justice will prevail.
“In this regard, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for Aba Central State Constituency in the Abia State House of Assembly, Mrs Anastasia Odochi Uchenna, reiterates her unwavering commitment to the protection of the rights and liberties of women and vulnerable persons.
“She joins the growing voices across the nation in calling on law enforcement agencies and all relevant authorities to sustain every effort necessary to ensure that Late Miss Wendy Chizaram Achumba receives the justice she so rightly deserves,” the statement reads in part.
The campaign council further urges citizens, civil society organisations, and all stakeholders not to relent in demanding accountability.
“The pursuit of justice must continue until the perpetrators are brought to book. Only then can confidence in the justice system be strengthened and a clear message sent that violence against women and other vulnerable persons will never be tolerated.
“May the soul of Late Miss Wendy Chizaram Achumba rest in perfect peace, and may her memory continue to inspire the collective resolve to build a safer and more just society.”
