Late Osinachi’s Husband Arrested

Last week was an emotional one as Nigerians reacted over the death of late singer Osinachi who people have described as a wonderful woman. It was brought to the notice of the general public that her husband abused her on several occasions, calling her names and slapping her. A colleague of hers Frank Edwards  took to his page to err his pain thereby stating that the matter will not be left just like that.

The Nigerian Police on the other hand have done the needful as the law demands by arresting her husband. On the arrest, the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Josephine Adeh, said, “He is now in our custody. The younger brother of the deceased reported the matter and we have commenced investigation.”

Osinachi, 42, died on Friday after spending days at an undisclosed hospital in Abuja.

Her colleagues, via social media had accused her husband of beating her.

In a live Instagram video, a popular singer, Frank Edwards, alleged that Osinachi’s husband abused her on several occasions.

“One time in a studio, this man slapped her just because she wanted to record the song in Igbo against his will. She does not do anything on her own.

former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, said the allegation of domestic violence worsened the pain of Osinachi’s death, calling on churches to take issues of violence against women serious.

“The death of Osinachi Nwachukwu of the epic Ekwueme worship song really hit hard. To read allegations of spousal abuse worsens the pain. I hope the truth is unearth and justice given. Everyone, including Churches must take issues of Violence Against Women seriously. Urgently,” Ezekwesili tweeted.
