Osinachi, Late ‘Ekwueme’ Crooner, Allegedly, Died Of Domestic Violence

By Akinwale Kasali

What, really, was the cause of the  death, on Friday, April 8, 2022, of popular Gospel Singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu?

Was it cancer of the throat, or was she a victim of domestic violence perpetrated by her husband?

Initial report when the news of her death broke was that she died of throat cancer. But her friends and some people who claim they know allege, seriously that she was in an abusive marriage, and died from domestic violence visited on her by her husband, repeatedly.

A friend of the deceased, simply identified as Gold Martins took to the Social Media, Facebook, to vent her outrage on the inhuman treatment and abuse, allegedly, meted on the deceased by her husband.

Martins alleged that the late Osinachi had been enduring abusive marriage for a very long time and had been hiding it from the public.

She added that due to her religion, she endured the bitter marriage, wearing glowing face outside, and being beaten black and blue by her husband.

Before  her death, it was also alleged that her husband kicked her on the chest which led to her being on life support for five days before giving up the ghost on Friday.

Martins had written on  Facebook; “While praying last night, all I was praying for was for God to touch the heart of people around her. Let them come out and speak. That woman personally told someone I know what she was passing through in the hands of that her husband. According to her ‘if not for the church and what people will say, I would have left this marriage’

“Even in their presence when that man called her, he was calling her names like “steeewpid” and “fuuuuul*ish”

“If minister Osinachi could tell a total stranger her story, how much more her Church? Do you want me to believe that her Church and Pastor didn’t know what this woman was passing through?

“Can they come out and swear that they are ignorant of the fact that she was living with her enemy?

What did they do to help her?

“The Church has failed us. The Church has failed the society. Religion has failed the society. Can we all start practicing humanity? Can we? Listen! If you know you have a calling here on earth, if you know you are here on a mission, please be mindful of who you are ending up with in marriage.”

Another Gospel Singer, Frank Ugochukwu Edwards, an afro-highlife praise and worship singer, took to his verified Facebook Page to react after friends alleged popular “Ekwueme” crooner died from domestic violence, not throat cancer.

He wrote: “So, that unreasonable human being finally put off a shinning light. I won’t say much now, I will let the former NDDC (Managing) Director, (Aunty Joy) who did everything possible to stop this from happening know. But it still happened. We tried to stop this.:

However, Osinachi’s husband, Peter Nwachukwu, has not reacted to the allegations.
