Late gospel singer Osinachi’s husband has been sentenced to death by hanging, as the FCT High Court delivers long-awaited justice in the high-profile homicide case.

In a landmark decision today, justice has finally caught up with Mr. Peter Nwachukwu, the husband of the late beloved gospel singer Osinachi Nwachukwu. The High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Abuja found him guilty of culpable homicide and sentenced him to death by hanging.

This ruling comes two years after the shocking death of Osinachi, a tragedy that resonated deeply across the nation and reignited discussions about the pervasive issue of domestic violence in Nigeria.

Late Gospel Singer Osinachi

Osinachi Nwachukwu, celebrated throughout Africa for her incredible voice and the hit song “Ekwueme,” passed away in April 2022 under circumstances that were initially thought to be natural. However, family members, friends, and close associates later revealed that she had suffered years of domestic abuse at the hands of her husband, Peter Nwachukwu.

In light of these revelations, the Nigerian government, through the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation, promptly filed a 23-count charge against Mr. Nwachukwu, accusing him of various forms of abuse, including emotional, verbal, and physical assaults, all of which contributed to her tragic death.

During the trial, the prosecution presented compelling evidence, including testimonies from Osinachi’s family, her children, neighbors, and close friends, all of whom painted a harrowing picture of ongoing and severe abuse.

As the judgment was delivered, the presiding judge noted that the prosecution had convincingly demonstrated that Mr. Nwachukwu’s actions and repeated acts of domestic violence were directly responsible for his wife’s death. The court determined that his conduct constituted culpable homicide, which is punishable by death under Nigerian law.

In a somber courtroom, the judge declared the ultimate sentence:

“Peter Nwachukwu, you are hereby sentenced to death by hanging until you are confirmed dead, as mandated by law.”

This judgment not only serves as a measure of justice for Osinachi but also sends a powerful message to those who perpetrate domestic violence across Nigeria and beyond. Late Gospel Singer Osinachi
