PHOTOs: Tears as late gospel singer, Osinachi’s body arrives Abia

Late Gospel singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu’s body has on Saturday arrived her home town Amakpoke Umuaku community, in Abia state for burial.

Osinachi allegedly died from injuries she sustained as a result of domestic abuse.

NewsWireNGR had earlier reported that the FCT High Court, sitting in Wuse, had ordered the remand of Peter Nwachukwu, husband of the late gospel singer, in the Kuje Correctional centre pending the hearing and determination of the homicide-related suit filed against him by the Attorney General of the Federation.

Caroline Madu, the mother of the late gospel singer, Osinachi, on Monday narrated before the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, Abuja, how her daughter’s husband, Peter Nwachukwu, allegedly called her a witch.

She also pleaded with the court to aid her in getting justice for her daughter.

Madu, 61, a resident of Enugu while being led in evidence by the prosecution counsel, Aderonke Imana, as a chief witness through an interpreter also informed the court that she and her other children were never allowed to visit the late singer, except on one occasion when she was ill.

“I visited my daughter when I was sick and when we went to the church, Peter left my daughter and I stranded in church while he drove away with the children.

“Peter called me a witch, sent me out of his house and it was a man from Delta State that accommodated me.

“I saw her last in December when she came to Enugu for a programme and before then there was a time she left her matrimonial home because of the ill-treatment and she stayed with me for a year and three months before Peter came with a pastor to beg as he had turned a new leaf.

“However, after she returned and gave birth to her third child, she called me that she was hungry and I had to send my son Chibuzor with foodstuff to her in Abuja.

“My son after four days called me that he was no longer comfortable as Peter poured water on him and told him never to help in washing his children’s clothes and poured water on Osinachi and her newborn baby when she was praying,” she testified.
