The quiet Community of Amakpoke Umuaku in Abia State was enveloped in anger, anguish and tears flowed freely, rolling down the cheeks of family, friends and fans of Late Gospel Singer, Osinachi Nwachuckwu, as her remains were interred Saturday, June 25, 2022.
The late Ekwueme Crooner died on April 8, 2022, of alleged domestic violence prior to her death. The circumstances of her death shook and shocked Nigerians.
Before it was gathered that she died as a result of domestic violence, reports had earlier suggested that she died of cancer.
On Saturday, April 9, 2022, reports emerged which suggested that she died of throat cancer. But it was another gospel musician, Frank Edwards, who opened the pandora box. He posted that the Ekwueme singer suffered untold domestic violence before her death.
Taking to the social media network Facebook, Frank Edwards said “an unreasonable human put off her shining light.” He alleged that her husband abused and assaulted her for which she was hospitalized before passed on.
Frank Edwards wrote, “So that unreasonable human being finally put off a shining light.
“I won’t say much now, I’ll let the former NDDC director (AUNTY Joy Nuneih) who did everything possible to stop this from happening talk 1st, but it still happened. We tried to stop this.”
At about 11a.m on Monday, April 11, 2021, Peter Nwachukwu was handcuffed and escorted into the police van stationed in front of the Lugbe Police station in Abuja. The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) said they were driving him to their house to provide evidence of the hospitals he claimed to have taken his deceased wife to for treatment.
An autopsy has now been carried out on the famous Nigerian gospel musician Osinachi Nwachukwu’s corpse to ascertain the real cause of her death. The autopsy became necessary after the late singer’s husband, alleged to have been responsible for her death, denied any wrongdoing.
Prior to the final internment on Saturday, a night of worship was held in Abuja on Thursday, June 23 while a Night of Prayer was also held in Isochi, Umunoci in Abia state on Friday, June 24, 2022.
Until her death, Osinachi was a chorister and lead singer at the headquarters of the Dunamis International Gospel Center in Abuja.
