Osinachi Nwachukwu Husband Arrested, Singer Died of Domestic Violence

Osinachi Nwachukwu have alleged that the “Ekwueme” singer died from domestic violence, and not throat cancer as earlier reported, according to her friends.

iexclusivenews reports that On Friday, April 8, news of Osinachi’s death in an Abuja private hospital sent shockwaves across Nigeria.

Friends of Osinachi stated that she died as a result of a kick in the chest by her husband, Peter Nwachukwu, who put her on life support for five days before she died.

The Ekwueme singer had been a long-time victim of domestic violence, according to a series of Facebook posts and WhatsApp status messages.

Amanda Chisom, a lifestyle blogger, allegedly accused her husband Peter of being a “control freak whose only purpose is to maximize wealth from her voice,” according to this online news portal.

According to iexclusivenews Nigeria, the victim’s husband was mentioned by another close acquaintance. He was in charge of her phones, social media accounts, bank accounts, and payments for the singer’s offenses, as well as serving as her personal manager.

According to gospel singer Gold Martins, who posted screenshots of people who knew Osinachi confirming the domestic violence narrative.

Osinachi was a victim of domestic violence. Osinachi confided in a common friend, explaining her situation and her inability to leave.

Gold quoted the singer as saying, “If not for the church and what people will say, I would have left this marriage.”

One of the friends said the singer told her of how the husband would tie her up and ask the children to “beat her up with a cane. She told me this.”

“He would lock her up in the house even on days when she had important concerts and programmes that she had already been paid for,” according to a friend.

“In 2019, I had her on one of my shows, The INVASION.” It had been a horrible experience on the phone with the husband, and when she arrived, she revealed frightening marital issues.

“To honour the invitation, she had to sneak out of the house.” On the phone, the husband threatened me and assured me that if the wife attends the event, she will not return to his house.”

The Dunamis chorister and mother of four had previously fled an abusive marriage, but thanks to Pastor Paul Eneche, the founder and senior pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Center, she was able to reunite with her husband.

Meanwhile, her spouse has been detained by Nigerian authorities, according to Source.
